Been living down the wrong side of town I should move up to the right Maybe I should make a move tonight All alone I hear a sound A voice within said, "It's just the wind" A ghost of mist closes in The early morning is waking up And the ghost, he sings "Wake up, wake up, you're allowed to let it out Nobody knows what you're thinking Wake up, wake up and bail the water out Before you start sinking" "It's just the wind," says the voice within Been sifting out the dirt in the ground I've been tryin' to find some gold Even if I do find something new When does something new become something old?
