I'm Only Sleeping

By John T. Marck

Written by John, he is reflecting on the one place he loved the best, his bed. When he wasn't sleeping in it, he would be lying on it, writing, reading or watching television. This song celebrated the bed and his place for contemplation. It was recorded on April 27 and 29, and May 5 and 6, 1966.

When I wake up early in the morning,

lift my head, I'm still yawning

When I'm in the middle of a dream,

stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am,

I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy,

I don't mind, I think they're crazy

Running everywhere at such a speed, till they find, there's no need

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away, and after all,

I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling, waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away,

and after all, I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head,

I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream,

stay in bed, float up stream Please don't wake me, no don't shake me,

leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
