about

One of several songs from the October 2023 session that carries some influence from The Beatles. This tune is loosely about acting upon your dreams rather than thinking about your dreams. Unless your dream is to be thinking, in which case, as you were.

lyrics

WAKE UP

She said: "You're a difficult ship to sink"
And I just smiled and poured a drink
Ten days in the pit will make you think
I'm just passing through this

Wake up
You've been speaking in your sleep
Won't you wake up?
You've been sleeping in your dreams
Won't you wake up?
Don't forget to unwind
Or life will pass you by

We spent two weeks down by the sea
Skimming stones and drinking tea
And on the long way back we breathed
The wind of change was but a breeze

Then she walked the tightrope
And I held on the wire
Destined for greatness too grand for desire
In balance we trust as we stare at the fire

Wake up
You've been speaking in your sleep
Won't you wake up?
You've been sleeping in your dreams
Won't you wake up?
Don't forget to unwind
Or life will pass you by

If there's one thing left to say
Turn the cheek then earn the pay
