I Woke Up Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Now the sun
Sits on my hand
Oh, where
Are you?Walking the wind
I fly above
The shore of the townTo the hills
Where I can hear
The harbor bells
Ring slaveryWhere the fortune teller sighs to me
Oh, I see your woman in the rawRide

A mare of stone
And howlI woke up
While morning built
The world
With lightCrossing their hearts
Twelve sailor boys
All stood in a ring
'Round our bedOut of the grass
A dancer rose
ShiveringOh, the sailor's pointing
Out to sea
And the dancer diving
Up the skySing
'Til we forgot
The day

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose. Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor.
