Sleepyhead

Some days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down
Some days life's gonna wear you down, gonna wear you down
There's dust upon the stairs, the mansion has the air of a tomb
She hardly leaves her room some days

I have never been the type to go to church
And I have never prayed for anyone but her
But I pray for her each night, dreaming that it might catch her ear
I hope, my dear, life doesn't wear you down

The wind is rising
The sun is shining
The dawn is breaking
The world is waking

The church bells ring
The choir sings
The people pray their sins away
And you feel so odd, so far from God

The days are dark
The nights are long
Your heart is tired
Of being strung along

Get out of bed
You sleepyhead
It's another chance to start again
Please don't forget that I'm your friend
