|
I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn |
|
With dewdrops on my feet |
|
As I rise up to greet the morning |
|
Nothing much to eat |
|
Every breath I take seems to make my body ache |
|
My only friend is mist on a Monday morning |
|
Pick up my sack and walk for miles |
|
Never thinking why |
|
To the brewer's yard where I can sit |
|
And watch my life go by |
|
Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away |
|
I need a friend like mist on a Monday morning |
|
Where's my wife, has she gone |
|
I hear misty morning call |
|
One foot resting in the grave |
|
Destined not to see her anymore |
|
There's a den in the grass by the autopath |
|
Of corrugated steel |
|
I may be sleeping there tonight |
|
And depending how I feel |
|
Damp and dirty place |
|
Printing sorrow on my face |
|
With nothing but the mist on a Monday morning |
|
Pick up my sack and walk for miles |
|
Never thinking why |
|
To the brewer's yard where I can sit |
|
And watch my life go by |
|
Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away |
|
I need a friend like mist on a Monday morning |
|
From... I feel the sin |
|
Like wheels upon my feet |
|
Intoxicated by the night |
|
I stumbled in the street |
|
Every breath I take seems to make my body ache |
|
And drift into the mist on a Monday morning |
