All the war horses wore rubber bands
To hide their hooves from sinking sand

And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie
Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies are growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chin

Wake up in the morning

And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie
And in the corner chair
Soft and soap-scented
My darling cries apologies
We foresee the mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
Will not go unthanked or unseen
Wake up in the morning
I shall wake up, and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
