"I Woke Myself Up" lyrics

"I Woke Myself Up"

I woke myself up
To rest my weary head
From all the work I'd done
In those dreams I'd had
Like weeding the garden all night
It's so hard to weed in the dark moonlight

Almost each night
Between two and four
She rose out of bed
And onto the floor
And sometimes I have to go in
And put her back into her bed again
So maybe this coffee is a bad idea
And maybe this might not work out for me
Well maybe a walk or a nap could win for us all about now

I woke myself up
Just to see you sleep
Just to hear the quiet
And just to have a look
At everything quiet all night
It's so good to be in the dark moonlight

I woke myself up
To rest my weary head
From all the work I'd done
In those dreams I'd had
Like reading the books all night
And it's so hard to read in the dark moonlight
And maybe this coffee is a bad idea
And maybe this might not work out for me
Maybe a nap or a walk could win for us now
