Sometimes I wonder where I'd beIf all my friends abandoned meOn a vessel out to sea, Took every lifeboat and they ranIt's funny how we'd switch our rolesWith empty cabins, empty hullsAnd all the food filled up with mold,I'd stand on deck without a handFeeling so much bigger than I amAnd so I dim the lights, and I crack a beerI think to myself about thingsI'd said I'd do this yearGrowing old never takes it's toll until you're losing Track of all things you won't ever have back againFive minutes pass and I get scaredI take the ladder, than the stairsTrying hard to get some airInside these lungs that I neglectI grip the wheel and try to turnI never looked, I never learnedJust playing captain to my kind,To think it never crossed my mindPlease forgive me, I want to go homeSongtexteWake me up now, I'm so tired of being lonelyStrips of moonlight in the clouds are breaking throughI'll be dreaming, baby I'll be dreaming of youAfter a night without a mateI hung my head and loved my fateCounted the hairs upon my face,I never thought I'd have the timeBut when the day came to an endI missed my family and my friendsAll driven out by my controlIf everyone knew what they toldI wouldn't be so bold, I wouldn't act so oldHey, honey, I wouldn't stay so coldAnd so I dim the lights, and I crack a beerI think to myself about thingsI'd said I'd do this yearGrowing old never takes it's toll until you're losing Track of all things you won't ever have back againAnd there's so many of themThen one morning I awokeInside a clearing in the smokeMy fist like quarters, scratching was off of my eyesI hit the door then I hit the roofI bit my tongue, I broke a toothI saw a landing to the left of the sunriseAnd I cried: please forgive me, I want to go homeWake me up now, I'm so tired of being lonelyStrips of moonlight in the clouds are breaking throughI'll be dreaming, baby I'll dreaming...I'll be dreaming, baby I'll dreaming...I'll be dreaming, baby I'll be dreaming of you Aus Songtexte Mania
