Suzanne Vega - Tired of Sleeping [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Oh Mom, the dreams are not so bad
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

[Verse 2:]
Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just can't hear what he's saying

[Chorus:]
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

[Verse 3:]
Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies
They're up to their knees in money
And the dirt of the churchyard steps

[Verse 4:]
Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining
He tore out a piece of his body
To show us his "clean quilted heart"

[Chorus:]
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

[Verse 5:]
Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging
Her bones are twisting and dancing
She's fighting for her small life

[Chorus 2x:]
Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
