(Hackett)

Hope I don't wake in the morning
Find you running right away
Every hour I'm down and worried
Dream about night a day a-yay

To many places you can go
When drowning in your sleep
But no one wants to lay awake
For hours counting sheep

I'm fine what about you
OK tell me the news
We all know how to fight
When there's something to lose
In my mind I feel elation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hope I don't wake in the morning
Find you running right away
Every hour I'm down and worried
Dream about night a day

For many days I know you'll go
Surrounded by four walls
And by yourself you'll stay inside
Behind your own front door

I'm fine what about you
OK tell me the news
We all know how to fight
When there's something to lose
In my mind I feel elation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hope I don't wake in the morning
Find you running right away
Every hour I'm down and worried
Dream about night a day

Well I need to be on my way
Hope to get through another day
Well you know what shape I'm in
And it seems I can never win
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hope I don't wake in the morning
Find you running right away
Every hour I'm down and worried
Dream about night a day a-yay
