6 A.M. Or Nearer

[Verse 1] There ain't no reason to talk About the things I could have done My living don't come easy And I've hardly just begun I'm not getting back the heartaches like before Anymore, anymore They say seeing is believing So I lent myself to travel Soon became experienced And my soul turned into gravel Turned every stone and opened every door Like before, like before [Chorus] Sun was hardly shining It was 6 A.M. or nearer My mind was sick of trying As the sky became a mirror I really felt like dying It was 6 A.M. or nearer I was drowning I was drowning [Verse 2] I soon got sick of falling So I took a try in praying I heard somebody calling Might have been a baby playing And I fell down from the ceiling to the floor Like before Like before [Chorus]
