I'm so glad
Frankie Karl & the Dreams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wait air to sway
In an healing rain
It seems from my daze I'll
Sink in yesterday
I'm so tired waitin' for dawn all day
I'm so tired I feel like a castaway
People run to seek
A new life away

So when I'll start too,
Leaving yesterday?
I'm so tired waitin' for dawn all day

I'm so tired will I be blown away?
The world is heading up and I feel it down on me
