Wake Up Call

[Mick Taylor (spoken on an answering machine)]:

Hi John, it's Mick callin'. There's no way I can make this session tonight. It's just too late. I mean, you've known me since I was 17 years old. So, there's a good reason why I can't come

Eleven thirty wake up call

Check out time at noon

With these hours that I keep

Can't get much sleep

So don't make my wake up call too soon

Workin' past the wee wee hours

Late to every suite that's sold

Try to sing my song

Lord, I've been so long

Searching for that moment of gold

I once saw me a morning

Brighter than a baby's heart

Now that morning seems so far away

And my dreams is coming apart

Eleven thirty wake up call

And my head's about to split in two

See the light of day

Peekin' through the shade

Oh, my brain's about to come unglued

Workin' past the wee wee hours

There ain't no club too small

It's sleepin' that I lack

Turnin' on my back

But it won't be no time at all

Till that wake up call

I once saw me a morning

Brighter than a baby's heart

Now that morning seems so far away

And my dream's just coming apart

Yes, my dream's just coming apart

Sinkin' with that Tidal Moon

No time to even remember my love

This blue morn is comin' too soon, comin' too soon

(Much too soon)

With that wake up call

(I ain't ready yet)

Wake up call

(Let me, let me, let me sleep a little while longer)

Wake up call

Just gimme ten more minutes

Ten more minutes please

I tell ya you know we workin' hard last night

Didn't matter that place too small

We had a good time

Way too soon
