I Woke Up

Del Reeves · Other Songs - Del Reeves

I woke up and the world was gone

You promised a new world, you showed me

And made me believe it did exist

And now you pretend you don't know me

And you say that world was a mess

Then I woke up and the world was gone

And I never felt so all alone

It was cold and dark without a dawn

When I woke up and the world was gone

That world you promised, you gave me

I was there each time that we kissed

And when your world had enslaved me

That world you promised went a mist

Then I woke up and the world was gone
