Inscription for the Ceiling of a Bedroom ft. Honor Heffernan Lyrics

Daily dawns another day

I must up to make my way

Though I dress and drink and eat

Move my fingers and my feet

Learn a little here and there

Weep and laugh and sweat and swear

Hear a song or watch a stage

Leave some words upon a page

Claim a foe or hail a friend

Bed awaits me at the end

Though I go in pride and strength

I'll come back to bed at length

Though I walk in blinded woe

Back to bed I'm bound to go

High my heart or bowed my head

All my days but lead to bed

Up and out and on; and then

Ever back to bed again

Summer Winter Spring and Fall

I'm a fool to rise at all

Dorothy Parker
