Somehow Awake

from 45 by TA Walker

/

lyrics

Six in the morning - I’m somehow awake
Then I remember the ducks on the lake
Their quacks don’t consider I stayed up so late
And mock my vain efforts, my thoughts to dictate

That voice in my head, so eager to speak
Of all that I feel, not the words that I seek

If I give the impression I’m always prepared
With a smart witticism, and rarely look scared
You should see me here, bags under my eyes
With notepad and small hours ...and still, I try

The subject demands I form every phrase
To make the whole worthy of everyone’s praise

I fight the temptation to lay down the pen
For fear I’ll lack strength to raise it again
I envy the hedgehogs, asleep until spring
The right time to ring in the new
