"Rude Rude Awakening" lyrics - PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE

It fell outta my head tonight awoken by a dream
As I was writing this letter to you
It's harder to remember the love that once was you and me

People laughin' through the smoke at the party where we met
Well I was young an' I was broke
We fell in love so quickly I can't remember how it went

Oh rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye

The days go on the weeks pass by time has got me fooled
The numbers weather and the edges come through
Blurrin' up the images and those memories of you

Oh rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye

Oh somewhere in this room tonight there's a north Atlantic sea
The wind is howlin' an' the stars are bright
An' I can hear the echo of you callin' out for me

The fire burns the smoke is gone I see you now so clear
Reachin' out to hold me tight
All alone an' lonely it's the coldest night of the year

Oh rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye

Oh rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye
