I Woke Myself Up - Julie Doiron

I woke myself up

To rest my weary head

From all the work i’d done

In those dreams I’d had

Like weeding the garden all night

It’s so hard to weed in the dark moonlight

Almost each night

Between two and four

She rose out of bed

And onto the floor

And sometimes I have to go in

And put her back into her bed again

So maybe this coffee is a bad idea

And maybe this might not work out for me

Well maybe a walk or a nap could win for us all about now

I woke myself up

Just to see you sleep

Just to hear the quiet

And just to have a look

At everything quiet all night

It’s so good to be in the dark moonlight

I woke myself up

To rest my weary head

From all the work I’d done

In those dreams I’d had

Like reading the books all night

And it’s so hard to read in the dark moonlight

And maybe this coffee is a bad idea

And maybe this might not work out for me

Maybe a nap or a walk could win for us now
