lyrics

What's up this morning, sleepyhead?
You've been rolling over, fields of clover, bones are full of lead
What's that you said? The devil's left the dead?
Holding you under, rain and thunder, the waves around your bed

Well, I can't keep my eyes closed
Cause I can't let the time go

What's up this morning, sleepyhead?
Glued your eyelids to the skies and kept your dreams watered and fed
What's that you said? I'm leaving you instead?
I can't be blamed for things I do when I'm asleep or in your head

Still, I can't keep my eyes closed
Cause I can't let the time go

Tell the sandman to hurry
We aren't waiting for him
Tell the band not to worry
We'll be ready to begin

Oh, I won't let them steal away all your time
You've got mine
