Mandolin Orange - Wake Me Lyrics






Like a rock that came rolling down the hill
I've been searching for something to kill
I'm shameless
And I've aimlessly drawn

I wanna lay down somewhere
I wanna close my eyes
I've a good girl waiting
If I ain't back soon, she may be gone

Hmm, mmm, mmm, it's all the same
It's enough to hold her close
But I'm in need of pleasant dreams

So I cried to the doctor
Doctor, please come quick
My world's grown tired and sick
If it ain't fixed, I fear it may fall

I wanna lay down somewhere
Lay down and die
Well, the Doc just smiled and said in a good while
Son, sometimes don't we all

Hmm, mmm, mmm, it's all the same
It's enough to hold her close
But I'm in need of pleasant dreams

Won't you wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

I ran outside and shout
So loud it shook the earth
So loud it chilled the air and cleared the sky

I wanna lay down somewhere
Down by her side
And I've been going too long to crawl back now
And crumble in her eyes

I see a lock and a key and clock on the wall
And I swear I hear her singin'
The air smells sweet
And I do think there's coffee in it

I wanna lay down somewhere
As long as time abides
And with that morning sky above
We can share our love with sleep still in our eyes

Hmm, mmm, mmm, it's all the same
It's enough to hold her close
But I'm in need of pleasant dreams

Wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

Wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

Hmmm, mmm, mmm, hmmm, mmm, mmm...

    Headphones on and cruising YouTube. Went from Beck, to Gene Watson, to Linda Ronstadt and landed on this, and happy I did.

  36. t.... t....

    I got to say i past this video so many times. Finally i kliked on it .im so glad i did you guys are a grate teem sound grate together realy liked the tune .......

  37. P.... S....

    You could fall in love with a girl like that. Love her passionately. Have two kids. Work 70 to 90 hours a week for 30 years. Then come home and see her crying because she's not living the life she wanted to.

    P.... S....

    Then a divorce court makes you sell your tractors so you can buy her a house. You don't have the money you saved all those years because it was taken and hidden by this beautiful girl. She leaves you and takes everything because she is filled with hate. And even takes your dog and pizza knife. Now you spend your days alone and you have to cut your pizza with an axe. Could happen! Just saying.

  38. P.... E....

    Love it ... wish the camera had a wider angle to capture more of the instrument playing , and you guys together - but wow, well done ...

  39. z.... ....

    I listen to and love many folk bands and performers and folk/roots/americana/bluegrass internet radio stations are my usual choice, so I'm pretty close to the genre. I'm aware Folk Alley likes those two very much, it's just that I can't find anything that special in either their songwriting, singing or general performance. They're not bad at all, but I lack something that would make me listen to them and really like them...I just can't find it. Please tell me what am I missing? Besides, they sound to me like they constantly fight depression (but not presenting it in such way that would make me empathise with their condition/mindstate): Especially the male singer.

  40. R.... F....

    Wowsers! Love to hear see such ...

  41. F.... J....

    You guys are awesome. I love what you are doing.Thanks

  42. Z.... ....

    GOOD !!! thousand thanks for you two !!!

  43. W.... B....

    I need to get me one of her.

  44. S.... ....

    👏👏👏👏

  45. s.... c....

    Lol all the festival kid comments are so distinguishable <3

  46. J.... P....

    What is the make/model of guitar that the lady is playing?

    J.... P....

    I saw an interview with Andrew where he said he made the guitar at a friend's guitar shop.

  47. L.... D....

    Mandolin Orange is well within the pantheon of just 'incredibly talented songwriters and musicians' working their utterly brilliant craft, embedding folk music deep into our collective heart and soul for past, present and subsequent generations; precisely what folk music does best! The melodies and lyrics are instant classics, simply timeless, makes me feel like I've known these tunes all my life. It feels like home. What a remarkable effect this is. You've raised the bar substantially. I'm so grateful to you for sharing your gift to the world. We are truly all the better for it.

    L.... D....

    Best comment yet....

  48. v.... ....

    Y’all are beautiful.

  49. r.... ....

    Grew up listening to GNR. My grandpa used to sit me on his knee and play you are my sunshine and the crawdad song. This song for some reason brings me back to that moment. Wow how I miss him. Eternally grateful for the musical taste he instilled in me. This song brings me back. Thank you!

  50. e.... k....

    what talent.  when to see them in Madison the audience was jaw droping amazed by there songs. best ive seen for a duo.. when they return ill be there , go see them amazing talent ED..

  51. D.... 9....

    Great job. Really good harmony. Keep it up.

  52. D.... S....

    She needs to lose this guy. He’s a background player at best. Voice is not pretty. She’s a star.

  53. o.... ....

    Andrew is a song writer - wow! Together they make a great sound.

    And whomever shot this knew what they were doing; soft colors and perfect lighting that makes those blue eyes STANDOUT!

  54. w.... c....

    sweet, strong, smart, true.

  55. R.... H....

    It's moving to watch folks who are moved by their music. I found you on Tidal and intend to listen to quite a bit more! Thanks for sharing your music!

  56. O.... S....

    Holy Smoke. What a girl. She is so pretty. I have been looking for her all of my life

    O.... S....

    Me too :)

  57. D.... ....

    This should have won a few awards in the music video category of whatever awards that were given. The audio recording is amazing. The cinematography is phenomenal.

  58. J.... ....

    It's the big smile. When the morning comes. Sweet song😎

  59. j.... g....

    Can a woman artist not be judged on her physical appearance?

  60. c.... s....

    Its nice to hear a country mando player play the instrument like it was intended rather than playing it like a tunable percussion instrument.

  61. h.... ....

    Dreamy ..hmmmmm..paints a picture in my mind ...thanks for sharing 👍

  62. D.... C....

    Excellent playing mandolin n guitar combination.god bless all.

  63. N.... ....

    Like this very much!

  64. t.... ....

    This song is so beautiful, the lyrics and the music. The musicians too, it's all just perfect. Gives me solid hope and a surety that everything's gonna be alright, is already, and always will be. Wow, thank you Mandolin Orange. Best wishes to you both.

    t.... ....

    tristan8141 if you haven't yet, check out their new album

    t.... ....

    Oh yeah ✌️✌️

  65. o.... ....

    Quite extraordinary.

  66. E.... C....

    oh good lord she is so damn beautiful.

  67. J.... H....

    blue eyes can put a man at a still...those are some beautiful eyes.

  68. w.... ....

    Love these two, they heal my heart, restore my faith, Emily Franz could melt an icy glacier of a heart, most spectacular eyes I have ever seen, what a gorgeous young lady. Love this band so much.

  69. G.... C....

    To the 86 sad people who disliked this - if it is not your music then just walk away - why post a dislike?

  70. G.... C....

    Just so beautiful,

  71. S.... ....

    Good music, beautiful woman. Lordy.

  72. 1.... ....

    Man, those eyes. Blue-green? Sea-green? Grey? I have no idea what the right word is, but they're amazingly beautiful. I know I was listening to the music. I swear I was. But ... those eyes. Man ...

    1.... ....

    1thomson he does have really pretty eyes. Have you noticed hers though?

    1.... ....

    Man you are spot on, those eyes !!! JUle sorry I didn’t even notice there was a dude in this video !!!

    1.... ....

    Have a beverage, seem thirsty.

    1.... ....

    Fuck off. Take your stupid estoteric comments about her LOOKS somewhere else.

  73. R.... T....

    Nice song, shit camera work. Going in and out of focus is irritating. Just move back and watch the two of them without the useless pans.

  74. C.... S....

    Hey that's pretty good!

  75. B.... C....

    This is the bright side of the USA

  76. R.... H....

    I love the mandolin like my grandpa played long ago.

  77. R.... ....

    Wow! Nice song and sound!

  78. I.... M....

    I'm just so curious as to what kind of asshat logic it takes to dislike this ethereal kind of gorgeousness.

    I.... M....

    Hey, how many million of same voted for DJT. I've long stopped wondering and finding a source, a mindset for asshat logic. It's out there. Plenty of it. Meanwhile, just enjoy MO.. I'll finally catch them this July. Long overdue as well.

    I.... M....

    The "logic" is this: the billions of people on the planet all have different tastes AND a right to express those tastes.

  79. A.... N....

    Sweet sound...

  80. J.... C....

    Waiting for something to happen...and it doesn’t. GARBAGE

  81. M.... W....

    While she is beautiful, shouldn't we be commenting on the music? These two are so great... Boots of Spanish Leather reduced me to tears at NWSS.

    M.... W....

    Oh yes Michelle, I think their cover of Spansh Boots is my all time favorite! And there are some beautiful covers of that song.

  82. c.... e....

    Beyond measure then... beyond measure now

  83. k.... l....

    Those eyes🤗😍😍😍😚

  84. J.... N....

    you guys give me goose bumps!

  85. C.... ....

    Most beautiful girl I ever saw..... I won’t one!

  86. i.... ....

    Ah, nice. I bought your albums

  87. S.... A....

    I love the moving camera. Also, the way the camera gets close--it's so interesting to see the male singer's beard growth. I mean, why should the camera stay still, stay far enough away so we can see both musicians and watch them sing and play their instruments? Oh, no--move that camera! And get it real close--it's so good to cut off arms, legs, bodies.

  88. p.... ....

    So lovely.

  89. D.... ....

    The production quality on this video is insane!

    D.... ....

    insanely out of focus.

  90. D.... T....

    Well, aint this the Ness. Pretty sure mandolin orange understands the ness.

    D.... T....

    What I meant is..

  91. C.... P....

    These two are dragon born

  92. R.... S....

    That is the most beautiful female I have ever witnessed in my life.

    R.... S....

    Irrelevant! This is a music video, not an ad to turn you on.

    R.... S....

    @CoorsBudMiller74 How the fuck would you know that? Her face is pretty, but you know nothing about her as a human.

    R.... S....

    vee kay Chill out it wasnt a malicious comment

    R.... S....

    vee kay ... you must be hideous

    R.... S....

    Her eyes are really something
