I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn

With dewdrops on my feet

As I rise up to greet the morning

Nothing much to eat

Every breath I take seems to make my body ache

My only friend is mist on a Monday morning

To the brewer's yard where I can sit

And watch my life go by

Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away

I need a friend like mist on a Monday morning

With nothing but the mist on a Monday morning
