Wake Me Up
Ned Hill

Where do we go from here
When there’s no one left to keep us in our home
The kids are grown and left us all alone-to stare
At what we’ve left behind
A loving garden caught up in the weeds
Smothered by a frantic life and buried underneath the years

So wake me up-I’m still young enough
To break a heart-to fall apart

Is there nothing left to say
Between me and you-it’s just work and unpaid bills
We leave the tv on so the endless chatter fills the room
You pull the covers from the bed
As the naked silence leaves the unsaid words exposed
No baseball, band, no planning where to go this year

So wake me up-I’m still young enough
To find a place-with the saving grace-of love

And I remember the first time-you put me in my place
Fireworks, New Year’s Eve and drunk enough to face
Everything that you were-just took my heart away-without a trace

So tell me you love me baby
And maybe we can work this whole thing out
Shine light upon these shadows and put away the doubt
But I can see it in your eyes
Your heart left me ten years ago or more
Those long dark winters left us in the cold for sure

So wake me up-I’m still young enough
To break a heart-to fall apart-again
