WAITING FOR DAWN BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
up all night with the bees in my head
watching the sky for the sun to be red
will I ever get to sleep again?
or will it be this way until the end
Sunday morning and I got no church
I'd seek salvation if I knew where to search
I hear them singing from across the square
but it's a million miles to get over there
the sun's too bright and the day's too hot
I guess I should be grateful for all I got
but in my heart I know I die alone
all I am is a mere sack of bones
waiting for dawn
waiting for dawn
then I can get up
and be gone
yesterday I thought I had it made
but I fooled myself I was a slave
maybe tomorrow I can be set free
and be the kind of man I want to be
waiting for dawn
waiting for dawn
then I can get up
and be gone
