wake up my darling
you’re a few days old and don’t yet know what’s in store
oh yes my darling
you don’t know pain and you sure as hell don’t know cold
wake up my darling
there’ll be plenty of time to sleep when it’s too late
It might seem slow but it’ll be over
before you can blink

pushing daisies up from our bones
where they’ll take us, nobody knows
when the rains have washed away all our names
from their permanent homes
etched in stone cold grey

wake up my darling
you’ve got more days to remember now that you’re old
wake up my darling
you grew out of the habit of needing someone to hold
wake up my darling
i’ll stay with you until your hands grow cold
It might seem slow but i’ll be worth it
or so I’ve been told

pushing daisies up from our bones
where they’ll take us, nobody knows
when the rains have washed away all our names
from their permanent homes
etched in stone cold grey

wake up my darling
do you even know who’s singing this song to you now?
wake up my darling
there’s so many things we didn’t find out, how?
wake up my darling
I’ll stay with you until your hands grow cold
it might seem cruel, but it’ll be worth it
or so I’ve been told

pushing daisies up from our bones
where they’ll take us, nobody knows
when the rains have washed away all our names
from their permanent homes
etched in stone cold grey
