Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wake up, young man

It's time to wake up

Your love affair has got to go

For ten long years

[Verse 2]

For ten long years

The leaves to rake up

Slow suicide's no way to go

Oh, oh

[Verse 3]

Blue, clouded gray

You're not a crack-up

Dizzy and weakened by the haze

Movin' onward

[Verse 4]

So an infection, not a phase

Yeah

[Verse 5]

The cracks and lines from where you gave up

They make an easy man to read

Oh, oh

[Verse 6]

For all the times you let them bleed you

For a little peace from God you plead

And beg

[Verse 7]

For a little peace from God you plead

Oh, oh, yeah, oh

Oh, oh, yeah, oh

Oh, oh, yeah, oh

[Verse 8]

Wake up, young man

Wake up, wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up

Wake up

Oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 9]

Wake up, young man

It's time to wake up

Your love affair has got to go, yeah

For ten long years

[Verse 10]

For ten long years

The leaves to rake up

Slow suicide's no way to go

Oh, oh

[Verse 11]

Slow suicide's no way to go

Wake up, wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up

Wake up
