Rip Van Winkle - Shannon and the Clams

You’re sleeping all your moments away

I’m counting every breath that you take

You’ve been snoozing 20 years and lengthening that beard

You whittled a squirrel for me

And counted lemons on your tree

And every time I turn around and given up for good

You say, «Hey, it’ll be alright»

I said, «Hey, I’m alright»

Every time I turn around and given up for good

You’re haunted by the things that you’ve seen

I know they give you terrible dreams

We all know you’ll wake up soon and rattle off that dust

You can spot a hawk a mile away

Cursing all those old blue jays

But every time I turn around and given up for good

You say, «Hey, I’m alright»

You said, «Hey, I’m alright»

Every time I turn around and given up for good

Hey, let’s go cruise the J

I’ll take you away, I’ll take you away

Can’t fill any more plates, move any more chairs

It’s been too many years, it’s been too many years
