Tom Paxton - Oh, Doctor, Doctor Lyrics

You told me the sunshine
Was bound to revive me
You told me the cool breeze
Was gonna bring me around
But something is breaking
And moving inside me
And something inside me
Is tearing me down
Oh, doctor, doctor
You didn't give me no warning
You didn't help me get ready
Now anybody can see
And I can't stand the pity
And the sorrowful glances
They all know my body
Is quitting on me
Oh, doctor, doctor
Don't let me just lie here
Don't let me just wait here
'Cause the waitin's too slow
Oh, doctor, doctor
Please show me some mercy
I'm tired of waiting
Please let me go
I want to open my window
I want to feel the sunshine
Listen to children
Go hurrying past
See the beautiful blackbird
Settle down in the chestnut
It's a beautiful sunset
And I hope it's my last
Oh, doctor, doctor
Don't let me just lie here
Don't let me just wait here
'Cause the waitin's too slow
Oh, doctor, doctor
Please show me some mercy
I'm tired of waiting
Please let me go
Oh, doctor, doctor
Don't let me just lie here
Don't let me just wait here
'Cause the waitin's too slow
Oh, doctor, doctor
Please show me some mercy
I'm tired of waiting
Please let me go
