Red and yellow
Left and right
With a gray road in-between
Dirty windows
And warm fireplaces
Will all change
The power went off last night
But I was sleeping
And I did not know
Or did I?
The clock struck
One, two, three and four
But I was sleeping And did not know
Or did I?
The cats were racing
Up, down and around the hall
But I was sleeping
And did not know
Or did I?
The stream was drying
From lack of rain
But I was sleeping
And did not know
Or did I?
Someone next-door
Was dreaming
And someone awake
But I was sleeping
And did not know
Or did I?
Seven different creatures
Crossed through my backyard
But I was sleeping
And did not know
Or did I?
I am awake now
The coffee pot is blinking
The clock is chiming
The cats are fed
Neighbors are eating their breakfast
And I see birds at the feeder
I am awake now
