Come Awake
Ricky Ross
When the daylight comes
And come it will
I'll get all my things
And creep down the hall
I'll light that ring
For my first cigarette
Walking out to the morning
Pulling on your jacket
I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake
That persistent sun
Will warm my face
Lighten my steps
Till hours later
I'll come back
Throw my coat on the floor
We'll talk tomorrow
When tonight is over
I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake
