I Woke Up Now the sun sits on my hand Oh where are you? Walking the wind I fly above the shore of the town To the hills where I can hear The harbor bells ring slavery Where the fortune teller sighs to me Oh, I see your woman in the raw Ride a mare of stone and howl I woke up While morning built The world with light, Crossing their hearts, Twelve sailor boys all stood in a ring Round our bed, Out of the grass a dancer rose, Shivering, Oh the sailors pointing Out to sea And the dancer diving Up the sky Sang 'til we forgot the day Tim Buckley/Larry Beckett Tim Buckley Music ASCAP 19th Opus Music o/b/o Third Story Music, Inc.
