Tired of Sleeping (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]
Oh Mom, the dreams are not so bad
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

[Verse 2]
Oh Mom, 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

[Chorus]
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

[Verse 3]
Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies
They're up to their knees in money
In the dirt of the churchyard steps

[Verse 4]
Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining
Tore out a piece of his body
To show us his "clean quilted heart"

[Chorus]
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

[Accordion Solo]

[Verse 5]
Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging
Her bones are twisting and dancing
She's fighting for her small life

[Chorus]
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
