I wake up
And you’re gone
The tv’s still on
And I sit
And I watch
Another rerun
She is left all alone
Her lover's out to sea
And I can’t help her feel that she is just like me
And I gave all I could but it wasn't good enough
and you said that you'd be here before I woke up
now you’re gone
I don't know why
My heart still beats
And I can't feel
Anything
Cuz I gave all I could but it wasn't good enough
And you said that you would be here before I woke up
Now you’re gone
Away…
Now you’re gone
Away…
[Here she plays the following, with some variation.
Alternate between the two on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
use of the word ‘take,’ but not on the 1st]

repeat 4x repeat 4x
Why don't you take me with you
come and take me
with you
come and take me
with you
come and take me
With you
Cuz I gave all I could but it wasn't good enough
And you said that you'd be here before I woke up
Now you’re gone.
Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohhh, oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhh.
