Hot House-Bud Powell

I'd walk miles and miles on this nowhere road Just to see you again but I think you know Don't you wish we could just keep the night away Shine forever and love ‘till we're old and grey I once had a reason to live and sing Watched her vanish away with the winter's wind I was looking for something that time wouldn't break Found that everything dies with each breath we take Can someone wake me up inside Light the fire in my eyes Can someone make it all alright Cause I'm waiting tonight I guess hope's a ladder up to the sky From which I fell off bad and I don't know why But the world doesn't hate you my old man said It just doesn't care if you're alive or dead Now the place that I once loved and felt like home Left me nothing but pain and a heart of stone When the smoke clears, my love, don't you fear for me In my grave under the ground I'll be good and free Can someone wake me up inside Light the fire in my eyes Can someone make it all alright Cause I'm waiting tonight Can someone wake me up inside Light the fire in my eyes Can someone make it all alright Cause I'm leaving tonight
