David Gale
Catnapping
Catnappin’ on a dog day noon
just barely can move
it’s hazy and I’m lazy I
got nothing to prove
Gone fishing… Catch phrase of the day
beneath the sycamore trees
aint had a bite, but that’s alright
I’m just here for the breeze
I got nothing to prove
I’m just lost in a dream
Catnappin’ got them sleepy time blues
no horsing around
just sittin’ … so fittin’
right here on the ground
My mission's to catch me a wink
On the bank of this stream
Plenty Zzzs are surrounding me
I'm lost in a dream
I got nothin' to prove
I'm just here for the breeze
Finally, I'm here
Everything gonna be all right now, now
A favorite thing to do, and I don't need you
When I'm sleeping
On New Year's Day
The night before, no fireworks
No kiss to start the year
Counting down to loneliness
No good luck wishes only tears
On New Year’s Day I ask the One above
Why he makes me cry
When I think about the one I love
What kind of fool would let her go
Alone back into town?
The sun had shined, no more
A blood-stained coat was all they found
(Chorus)
The first year gave the blues
To me and I withdrew
Then my tears were dried on number 9
But I will always remember you
With my hand behind her head
I pulled her to my lips
The smoke begins to bloom
From fire on my fingertip
(Chorus)
On New Year's Day I ask Him for forgiveness
