Steve Winwood - Wake Me Up On Judgment Day lyrics

The story goes, the truth is no one knows A stranger came, a man who lost his name At night he tells me his tale, prison, women, wail The took him in, he let them win Over and over He said if you don't have good words to say Don't wake me up until the judgment day 'cause if nothing is the way it seems Then this life is just a haunted dream And all this love is just falling down through the years And oh, i'd rather sleep Wake me up on judgment day Let me hear golden trumpets play Give me life where nothing fails Not a dream in a wishing well A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows The darkness grows, that's how it goes Over and over He said i think of the beauty i've had And all it does is make me feel so bad First they make you think you're riding high Then they toss you off in the sky And all this life is just falling down through the years And oh, i'd rather sleep Wake me up on judgment day Let me hear golden trumpets play Give me life where nothing fails Not a dream in a wishing well Say a prayer for the stranger Listen to the stranger Wake me up on judgment day Let me hear golden trumpets play Give me life where nothing fails Not a dream in a wishing well
