Tired Of Sleeping

Intro:                 Verse: Oh mom the dreams are not so bad It’s just that there’s so much to do         And I’m tired of sleeping             Oh mom the old man is telling me something his eyes are wide and his mouth is thin And I just can’t hear what he’s saying Oh mom I wonder when I’ll be waking It’s just that there’s so much to do          And I’m tired of sleeping         Oh mom I wonder when I’ll be waking It’s just that there’s so much to do          And I’m tired of sleeping        Verse: Oh mom the kids are playing in pennies They’re up to their knees in money       In the dirt of the churchyard steps     Oh mom that man he ripped out his lining Tore out a piece of his body     To show us his "clean quilted heart" Oh mom the bird on the string is hanging Her bones are twisting and dancing   She’s fighting for her small life    Chorus
