Kirsty MacColl – Just Woke Up lyrics

(Kirsty MacColl/David Ruffy)

Behind a burning bush he's waiting
Like a sleepless night
So silent and so strong
I know that I must push push push
Until the morning light
Don't make me wait too long

Till I open my eyes
Open the door
Take a walk outside
And feel the sun
Fall on my skin
It's time to get up
But not time to give in
I just woke up

With eyes as cold as ice cream
Floating in a frozen lake
I have to set the spark
And stroke the fire within him
Oh I have to see him smile
To have a happy heart

I opened my eyes
Walked outside and I realised
That what I saw was there before
But I opened my eyes
When I opened the door
I just woke up

One day I just woke up
I opened my eyes
Opened the door took a walk outside
And what I saw was there before
But I opened my eyes when I opened the door
I just woke up

Oh let me open my eyes
Open the door and look up to the skies
And leave the shore
And let my hand trail in the cool water
Float downstream, say goodbye to
That dream--I just woke up

I opened my eyes
I walked outside and I realised
That what I saw was there before
But I opened my mind when I
Opened the door--I just woke up
