Dorothy Parker - Inscription For The Ceiling Of A Bedroom lyrics

Daily dawns another day I must up, to make my way Though I dress and drink and eat Move my fingers and my feet Learn a little, here and there Weep and laugh and sweat and swear Hear a song, or watch a stage Leave some words upon a page Claim a foe, or hail a friend Bed awaits me at the end Though I go in pride and strength I'll come back to bed at length Though I walk in blinded woe Back to bed I'm bound to go High my heart, or bowed my head All my days but lead to bed Up, and out, and on; and then Ever back to bed again Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall I'm a fool to rise at all!
