If I Could Count - Shannon and the Clams

I hate to wake up when everyone is gone

If I could count all the times that my heart did shake

If I could count all the gallons of rum I drank

If I could count all the nights that I stayed awake

If I could count all the times that the ship did shake

I hate to wake up when everyone is gone

If I could count all the times that my heart did shake

If I could count all the nights that I stayed awake

If I could count all the gallons of rum I drank

If I could count all the times that the ship did shake

In the night, the stars are shimmering above

And in the night, the sea is menacing below

And in the night, you forget how small you are

And in the day, take a gander and know

I hate to wake up when everyone is gone
