I Slowly Floated Away

"One Day I Slowly Floated Away" by Eisley

One day I slowly floated away
One day I slowly floated away

All the war horses wore rubber bands
to hide their hooves from sinking sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
Their destiny was not to die

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies were growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chin

You've got a lot of nerve coming here
Your eyes are beating rhythm's way
Faster than the speeding bullet that
took the life of your radio

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

And in the corner chair
soft and soap-scented
my darling cries apologies

We foresee the mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
Will not go unthanked or unseen

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie


oooh-ooo-ahhhhh- aaahh-ah-ahhh-ah-ahh-ahhhhh
