Wake Up Sleepy Darling


Wake up, wake up sleepy darling, wake up. It's morning and I need you.

It's morning and you need to go to work. Don't go. I'll call in for you, say you've lost your voice. Don't go. You don't look so well.

You look wonderful.

Don't get up and hide yourself away in underwear and outerwear and your work face, stay with me, naked, show me your loving face. I need you. The dawn watch has hoisted the mainsail, the big top is in town, I'm harder than conjugating Icelandic verbs, I need you.

Wake up, wake up, but don't wake up too much, stay half asleep and let me woo you into staying. Your work needs you but I need you more. Your work will be there tomorrow. Of course I will be here tomorrow too, but I need you now and your work can wait.

Call it a sick day, I need you to stay and heal my pain.

Wake up, wake up sleepy darling. It's morning and I need you.
