I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head
I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head
I felt like someone in my family was dead
I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
Called out all around me, said, "Have mercy on me please!
Have mercy on me
Please!"
And there, over by the window, the voice came low and hollow
Over by the window a voice came low and hollow
Spoke into my pain, into my yearning sorrow
Spoke into my pain
Who was it? I cried
What wild ghost has come in agitation?
Who is it? I cried
What wild ghost has come in agitation?
It's half past midnight!
Oh, why you disturb me so late!
Then I saw a movement
Then I saw a movement around
Then I saw a movement around my narrow bed
I saw a movement around my narrow bed
Oh, a ghost in giant sneakers, laughing stars around his head
Have mercy on me!
Sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy
Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy
Said, "We've all had too much sorrow
Now is the time for joy."
And all across the world they shout bad words
They shout angry words
All across the world they shout out their angry words
About the end of love
Yet the stars stand above the earth
Bright, triumphant metaphors of love
Bright, triumphant metaphors of love
Blind us all who care to stand and look beyond a—
Care to stand and look beyond above
And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I called all around me, said, "Have mercy on me please!
Have mercy on me please!
Have mercy on me please!
Ah, have mercy on me please!"
For joy, for joy, for joy, for joy
For joy, for joy, for joy
Joy, joy, joy
For joy, for joy, for joy
For joy, for joy, for joy
Oh, for joy
Oh, have mercy on me please!
Oh, joy
Oh, joy
Oh, joy
