6 A.M. Or Nearer
There ain't no reason to talk about the things I could have done
My livin' don't come easy and I've hardly just begun
I'm not getting back the heartaches like before
Anymore
Anymore
They say seeing is believing so I lent myself to travel
Soon became experienced and my soul turned into gravel
Turned every stone and opened every door
Like before
Like before
Sun was hardly shining
It was six a.m. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was six a.m. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning
I soon got sick of falling
So I took a try in praying
I heard somebody calling
Might have been a baby playing
And I fell down from the ceiling to the floor
Like before
Like before
