Tim O'brien - The Sun Jumped Up lyrics

Well, the sun jumped up in the middle of the east At five fifteen this mornin' The wife jumped up to feed the kid At five fifteen this mornin' Well, the sun jumped up in the middle of the east And the wife jumped up in the middle of the bed And I jumped up in the middle of a dream At five fifteen this mornin' Well, the woman got the kid all fed By six fifteen this mornin' And I had done made up my bed At six fifteen this mornin' Well, the baby played on dancing feet And the woman stirred up a bite to eat But that dream still pounded on my head At six fifteen this mornin' Well, I walked to work and the sun got warm At seven fifteen this mornin' And I held my lunch pail under my arm At seven fifteen this mornin' Well, the dream kept ringin' in my ear And gettin' plainer and comin' clearer And gettin' bigger and drawin' near At seven fifteen this mornin' Well, I guess you know how some dreams are At eight fifteen this mornin' You can't remember what they are At eight fifteen this mornin' Well, I scratched my head at the factory gate And I run to keep from bein' late And the clock said fifteen after eight At eight fifteen this mornin' Well, I waved at the boss and I talked to my friends At nine fifteen this mornin' I was fishin' around inside my brain At nine fifteen this mornin' Well, I seen my dream like a haze or a snatch Or a blaze from some old fiery match But the rest of the dream I could not catch At nine fifteen this mornin' So at fifteen minutes after ten Or ten fifteen this mornin' I told my trouble to all my friends At ten fifteen this mornin' Well, I told 'em my dream was as plain as day And how it run like a rabbit away They said, "Keep tryin' if it takes all day" At ten fifteen this mornin'
