LYRICS - "HEY MAN!"

The Waking Hour
R. X. Heyman

Take me down beneath the burning tower
Where solitude can turn from sweet to sour
Take me with you when you fall and stumble
Pride is ever humble in the waking hour

Take me down beside the weary flowers
Where selfishness has left the land devoured
We'll sit beside the crying waters
Lay our worthless jewels before her in the waking hour

That's all, that's all you get
No reprise and no second take
Don't fall back asleep now, it's time to awake

Take me down under the raging shower
Where life is trying but we won't allow her
Now the time is ever fleeting
Soon we will be meeting, in the waking hour

That's all, that's all you get
No reprise and no second take
Don't fall back asleep now, it's time to awake

Take me up above the reach of power
Where no one talks about what's theirs and not ours
We'll watch the golden sky retreating
As our hearts are beating in the waking hour
In the waking hour
In the waking hour
