Shannon and the Clams - Rip Van Winkle lyrics

You're sleeping all your moments away I'm counting every breath that you take You've been snoozing 20 years and lengthening that beard You whittled a squirrel for me And counted lemons on your tree And every time I turn around and have given up for good You say, "Hey, it'll be alright" I said, "Hey, I'm alright" Every time I turn around and have given up for good You're haunted by the things that you've seen I know they give you terrible dreams We all know you'll wake up soon and rattle off that dust You can spot a hawk a mile away Cursing all those old blue jays But every time I turn around and have given up for good You say, "Hey, I'm alright" You said, "Hey, I'm alright" Every time I turn around and have given up for good Hey, let's go cruise the J I'll take you away, I'll take you away Can't fill any more plates, move any more chairs It's been too many years, it's been too many years
