Tired Of Sleeping

Oh Mum, the dreams are not so bad It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, the old man is telling me something And I just can't hear what he's saying His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin It's just that there's so much to do Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping They're up to their knees in money Oh Mum, the kids are playing in pennies And the dirt of the churchyard steps He tore out a piece of his body Oh Mum, that man he ripped out his lining To show us his clean courted heart It's just that there's so much to do Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, the bird on the string is hanging She's fighting for her small life Bones are twisting and dancing It's just that there's so much to do Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened And I'm tired of sleeping It's just that there's so much to do Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened And I'm tired of sleeping
