Let's Be Ready - The Wooden Sky

Well all the little sweethearts of a Saturday night

Got their hair done up so pretty, their makeup’s just fine

And all the Queen Street cowboys out there standing in line

Just stalking out the mystery of a Saturday night

Well the cancer spread so quickly, left me wondering why

If life is for the living, why do I even try?

So I switched from beer to whisky, think I’m doing just fine

And I slipped into the shadows of a Saturday night

Well there’s white smoke rising up off the coast

Heaven surrounds me now

And it’ll be no joke now that everyone knows

You got something to live for now

So I slipped in through your window hoping you wouldn’t mind

If I wanted to lay with you babe, just for the night

Who don’t love a little company, even if it’s a surprise

When I told you that you look lovely, you said you wanted to die

Well there’s white smoke rising up off the coast

Heaven surrounds me now

And it’ll be no joke now that everyone knows

You got something to live for now

But I thought as I got older, I’d get on my feet again

And now it’s hard just staying sober

I get all mixed up again

I get all mixed up again

And I woke up in the morning feeling barely alive

And I wanted to say something that could make things alright

So baby if you’re listening, won’t you send me a sign?

I know you get so lonely, but ain’t that just life?
