Wake Up, Little Dark Eyes

Wake up, wake up my little dark eyes!

Break the spell, come into the light

Demons got you in your sleep

Feeding you lies



And "here I am, beside you, dear"

He said through eyes of blue

"but we've yet to cross the vastest desert

So let's rise now, while the air is cool"



"the desert?" I said, through eyes of brown

"must we go? I'm a-diggin' this dawn!

You see I've crossed them all, no matter how big or small

Now I want to lay my bindle down"



"woman", he said, "just look at those legs

Your limbs are long and strong

You've had adequate rest, now take this here test

And we'll see if you're all right or all wrong

You've had adequate rest, now take this here test

And we'll see if you're all right or all wrong!"



"I don't know about no test...

Not now when I'm open to my loamy depths!

Old air blowin' out the cracks

And that last test nearly broke my back."



Hey! I'm afraid this man is all wrong

I'm afraid this man is alright

What now to do, but stay up all night

Chasing ghosts that fade in the light?

What now to do, but stay up all night

Chasing words that fade in the light?
