Wake me up when it's over
Wake me up when it's done
When he's gone away and taken everything
Wake me up.

Wake me up when the skies are clearing
When the water is still
'Cause I will not watch the ships sail away
So please, say you will.

If it were any other day
This wouldn't get the best of me.

But today I'm not so strong
So lay me down with a sad song
And when it stops then you'll know
I've been gone too long.

But don't shake me awake
Don't bend me or I will break
Find me somewhere between my dreams
With the sun on my face.

I will still feel it later on
But for now I'd rather be asleep.
