When You Awake Lyrics - Before The Flood - Band

Ole told me, I'm a fool 

So I walked on down the road a mile 

Went to the house that brings a smile 

Sat upon my grandpa's knee 

And what do you think he said to me? 

(Chorus:) 

When you awake you will remember everything 

You will be hangin' on a string from your... 

When you believe, you will relieve the only soul 

That you were born with to grow old and never know

Ole showed me the fork in the road 

You can take to the left or go straight to the right, 

Use your days and save your nights 

Be careful where you step, and watch what ya eat, 

Sleep with a light and you got it beat 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Ole warned me, it's a mean old world, 

The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true 

But what am I supposed to do 

Read the writing on the wall 

I heard it when I was very small 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Photos 

Wash my hands in lye water 

I got a date with the Captain's daughter 

You can go and tell your brother 

We sure gonna love one another all night 

You may be right and you might be wrong 

I ain't gonna worry all day long 

Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite 

My old car froze up last night 

Ain't no reason to hang my head 

I could wake up in the mornin' dead 

And if I thought it would do any good 

I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood...
