Late Morning Lullaby

As soon as my eyes shut, the slide show begins

Yesterday is gone now, the panic sets in

With a weight upon my chest and a ghost upon my back

And the numbing sensation of everything I lack

That leaves me dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, oh

Your real world away

And beautiful, beautiful bright eyes lie

Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry

Singing late morning lullaby

The first sign of morning is gray and alarming

It's so disappointing that the day has come so soon

While the rest of the world greets the day and feels new

I will push it away just like I always do

I will be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, oh

Your real world away

And beautiful, beautiful bright eyes lie

Only beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry

Singing late morning lullaby

Late morning lullaby

I would darken my window, so I can fall asleep

While the critics frown down on the hours I keep

That leave me dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, oh

Your real world away
