Sleeping it off

Not new, just recently edited.

Wake me when it’s over
I close my eyes and plea
When the wrath of God is spent
And the flood waters recede.

Wake me when it’s over
Just let me sleep til then
When the violent winds have stilled
And the sun breaks through again

Wake me when it’s over
I’ m willing to concede
I don’t look good in storm gear
And sleep is what I need

Wake me when it’s over
I lack the guts for glory
Let the studly Anderson Cooper
Report this hurricane story
