Beneath the spreading hazel wood I lay me down to sleep It all ended like I knew it would when the shadows came to creep The day had sprawled all about in a lazy attitude If I get some rest before I wake I'll be doing pretty good Man I would love to finish the book But I still have pages and pages of lines Time sends out a withering look but I pay it no mind God it's a drag to figure it out But what else can I do? Nothing whatever but to read for my pleasure As the life passes through Above the rippled walnut tops I listen to the wind It all started like I thought it would when a morning song begins The day is rising up so fast in a feverish state of mind If I take a step before I stop I'll be doing rather fine Man I would love to finish the book But I still have pages and pages of lines Time sends out a withering look but I pay it no mind God it's a drag to figure it out But what else can I do? Nothing whatever but to read for my pleasure As the life passes through Beneath the spreading hazel wood I lay me down to die It all ended like I knew it would when the shadows came to fly The night approaches us so fast in a terrible sort of mood If I drink a drop before the wine runs dry I'll be feeling pretty good Man I would love to finish the book But I still have pages and pages of lines Time sends out a withering look but I pay it no mind God it's a drag to figure it out But what else can I do? Nothing maybe but what do you say We let the life pass on through
