作曲 : Suzanne Vega Oh Mum, the dreams are not so bad It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, the old man is telling me something His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin And I just can't hear what he's saying Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, the kids are playing in pennies They're up to their knees in money And the dirt of the churchyard steps Oh Mum, that man he ripped out his lining He tore out a piece of his body To show us his clean courted heart Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, the bird on the string is hanging Bones are twisting and dancing She's fighting for her small life Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened It's just that there's so much to do And I'm tired of sleeping
