Steve Winwood Wake Me Up On Judgement Day Lyrics

The story goes, the truth is no one knows
 A stranger came, a man who lost his name
 At night he tells me his tale, prison, women, wail
 The took him in, he let them win
 Over and over

 He said if you don'^T^Tt have good words to say
 Don't wake me up until the Judgement Day
 'Cause if nothing is the way it seems
 Then this life is just a haunted dream
 And all this love is just falling down through the years
 And oh, I'd rather sleep

 Wake me up on Judgement Day
 Let me hear golden trumpets play
 Give me life where nothing fails
 Not a dream in a wishing well

 A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows
 The darkness grows, that's how it goes
 Over and over

 He said I think of the beauty I've had
 And all it does is make me feel so bad
 First they make you think you're riding high
 Then they toss you off in the sky
 And all this life is just falling down through the years
 And oh, I'd rather sleep

 Wake me up on Judgement Day
 Let me hear golden trumpets play
 Give me life where nothing fails
 Not a dream in a wishing well

 Say a prayer for the stranger
 Listen to the stranger

 Wake me up on jJudgement Day
 Let me hear gol
Give me life where nothing fails
 Not a dream in a wishing well
