Early light that burns my eyes, MORNING LIGHT EYES-HURT
A minute more the sun will rise 1-MORE MINUTE SUNRISE
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold PAINT-SKY GOLD
I’ll be dead asleep by then, FUTURE I SLEEP
Shut up in this box again (CL: BOX AROUND ME)
Until it’s gone UNTIL SUN LEAVE
Outside I can hear it I HEAR
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing BIRD MUSIC, BEE [FLYING]
sun shines overhead SUN [SHINING]
I’d be there to see it but I can’t get out of bed I GO OUTSIDE BUT CAN’T GET-UP
Since the day you left SINCE YOU LEAVE ME
the weather always feels this way WEATHER ALWAYS SAME
One more blue sunny day 1-MORE BLUE SUN-SHINING DAY
Looking for an easy mark LOOK-FOR EASY MEAL
I hit the Denny’s after dark NIGHT GO-TO DENNY’S
And take a lonely waitress home BRING LONESOME WAITER GIRL HOME
to drink, NECK-BITE DRINK
She’s sincere, but halfway through SHE HONEST, BUT HALF
I find I’m wishing she was you I WISH SHE-YOU [IX-SAME]
My blood goes cold MY BLOOD BECOME COLD
I guess this date is over NOW THIS DATE FINISH
Several hours later I’m the only one awake SEVERAL HOUR LATER I ALONE AWAKE
All these streets are empty, ALL STREET EMPTY,
it’s just me and my mistake I ALONE WITH MY MISTAKE
One by one the stars go out STARS ONE-BY-ONE COVERED,
as black sky turns to gray SKY BLACK BECOME GRAY
One more blue sunny day 1-MORE BLUE SUN-SHINING DAY
Sometimes I see how long I can wait SOMETIME I SEE HOW-LONG CAN WAIT
(getting pretty late, getting pretty late, pretty late)
Tempting disaster by my garden gate INVITE DEATH BESIDE MY GATE
My trembling hand’s on the cellar door HANDS-SHAKING GRIP [UPWARD]
(just a little more, just a little more, little more) (LITTLE MORE, MORE++)
Trying not to think of what it is I’m waiting for TRY NOT PONDER YOU
All at once I’ve had enough SUDDEN-HIT I DECIDE
As if I’m made of sterner stuff PRETEND I STRONG
I take a breath and open up the door [BREATHE DEEP] OPEN-DOOR
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me LIGHT HURT-ME [CLOSE EYES, CROUCH]
For just one moment I can see [SQUINT] LOOK OUT
The pale blue sky BLUE SKY
I close my eyes because [CLOSE EYES] WHY?
The world’s so bright and beautiful WORLD [EMPHASIS] BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL,
I have to look away MUST LOOK AWAY
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day RESIST ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT DAY
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away I DETERIORATE, WIND [BLOW-ME-AWAY]
One more blue sunny day 1-MORE BLUE SUN-SHINING DAY
