From the recording One of These Days
Lyrics
Wake up wake up
I got out of bed
They told me that my father was dead
They said don’t you worry
It will all be okay
You’ll forget all about it
One of these days
Yeah one of these days
Now I’ve already forgotten
The things that he’d say
The way that he smelled
And the games that we’d play
He would hold me at night
And to God we would pray
Well I pray to God
That I forget it
One of these days
Yeah one of these days
Deep inside me
A hole is growing
And it’s gotten worse since my father died
I believe him
I just don’t seem him
And I’ve only felt it
Once or twice
Well my brother my brother
Now he’s gone insane
And he swears that he’ll jump form the fire escape
Now that he’s older
He understands pain
Pills don’t numb it anymore
But he likes it that way
Yeah he likes it that way
And my mother my mother
She’s lost all that weight
Well she’s as crazy as my brother
But at least she loves me
She likes to work
It helps her forget the pain
There’s no time to think
And she likes it that way
Yeah she likes it that way
Deep inside me
A hole is growing
Just give me a reason why I should try
I believe him
I just don’t see him
And how do you love
Someone you don’t like
Well my friend oh my friends
Now the ones on cocaine
And the others in Europe
With his Danish queen
And all of the others are moving away
So alone I am and alone I will stay
Yeah alone I will stay
And that women
The Devil
The Vixen
My love
Well she has got to get her act cleaned up
So patiently I will wait
Now alone I am and alone I will stay
Yeah alone I will stay
Deep inside me
A hole is growing
And it’s gotten worse since my father died
I believe him
I just don’t seem him
And I’ve only felt it
Once or twice
Deep inside me
A hole is growing
Just give me a reason why I should try
I believe him
I just don’t see him
And how do you love
Someone you don’t like
Deep inside me
A hole is growing
And I wanna be by my father’s side
I believe him
I just don’t see him
And I can’t love um
Cause I won’t
Let this die
