One Day I Slowly Floated Away

One day I slowly floated away

One day I slowly floated awayAll the war horses wore rubber bands

To hide their hooves from sinking sand

The commander in charge was hoping

That their destiny was not to dieWake up in the morning

I shall wake up and so shall you

And I wake up, the sun is beautiful

And it is warming you and I, fragile as we lieHard to foresee the future

Our bodies are growing thin

Glimpsing the peeling paint of

The nurse's ivory chinYou got a lot of nerve coming here

Your eyes are beating rhythms way

Faster than the speeding bullet

That took the life of your radioWake up in the morning

I shall wake up and so shall you

And I wake up, the sun is beautiful

And it is warming you and I, fragile as we lieAnd in the corner of the chair

Soft and soap-scented my darling cries apologies

We foresee the mercy that's been shown

My young limbs will not go unthanked or unseenWake up in the morning

I shall wake up and so shall you

And I wake up, the sun is beautiful

And it is warming you and I, fragile as we lie
