Wake Me Up On Judgment Day Lyrics - Icon - Steve Winwood

The story goes, the truth is no one knows 

A stranger came, a man who lost his name 

At night he tells his tale, prison, women, wail 

The took him in, he let them win over and over 

He said, "If you don't have good words to say 

Don't wake me up until the judgment day 

'Cause if nothing is the way it seems 

Then this life is just a haunted dream 

And all this love is just falling down through the years 

And oh, I'd rather sleep" 

Wake me up on judgment day 

Let me hear golden trumpets play 

Give me life where nothing fails 

Not a dream in a wishing well

A man in tattered clothes 

Crying all he knows 

The darkness grows 

That's how it goes over and over 

He said, "I think of the beauty I've had 

And all it does is make me feel so bad 

'Cause they make you think you're riding high 

Then they toss you up off in the sky 

And all this life is just falling down through the years 

And oh, I'd rather sleep" 

Wake me up on judgment day 

Let me hear golden trumpets play 

Give me life where nothing fails 

Not a dream in a wishing well 

Say a prayer for the stranger 

Listen to the stranger
