Lyrics
I woke up this morning
I didn't know who I was.
I looked at the room
and didn't know where I was
or if I ever was.
I woke up this morning.
I looked to the skies,
they offered reprieve.
I look to the moon
and find you sitting in the right hand seat.
Stars in your eyes
as I study the skies.
We slowly glide
above the Quebec countryside,
moon-splashed and frozen,
the river our guide,
and now I feel you exhale,
a low soft sigh.
And this is what I lost today.
This is what I lost.
This is what I lost today.
This is what I lost.
I woke up this morning
I didn't know what to do.
I looked at the room
and didn't know what to do.
His hands hit the keys
and we are brought to our knees.
The explosion of sound
and our minds are scattered 'round.
The maestro pounds, and my spine takes hold of me,
shakes me around, and that's when I break free.
And this is what I lost today.
This is what I lost.
You ask me how I am,
What am I suppose to say?
When this is what I lost.
I woke up this morning
I didn't know who I was.
I looked at the room
I didn't know where I was.
If they come around asking
please tell tell them in passing,
this is what I lost.
If they come around asking
please tell them in passing,
this is what I lost.
This is what I lost.
