[Verse 1]
Running from the truth for all my life
Wake up darling, wake up darling
Now I'm too tired to tell more lies
Wake up darling, wake up darling

I never lied to you and I never laid blame
It was my own fault for what I became
The flies on the ceiling and the dogs in the cane
Wake up darling, wake up darling

[Chorus]
Noon as dark as midnight
The judge is down the road
Now walk with me, just a little while
I'm too weak on my own

[Verse 2]
How long have I been this way?
Wake up darling, wake up darling
Always said I'd trade the rest of my days
Wake up darling, wake up darling

Can't take you with me when I leave here
One more time I need you near
One more walk through the pines, my dear
Wake up darling, wake up darling
[Chorus]
Noon as dark as midnight
The judge is down the road
Now walk with me, just a little while
I'm too weak on my own

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Noon as dark as midnight
The judge is down the road
Now walk with me, just a little while
Now walk with me, just a little while
I'm too weak on my own
