One Day I Slowly Floated Away

The second-to-last song on Room Noises has a mellow theme and beautiful, shimmering melody. A portion of this song appeared in one of Boyd's LA pre-production videos.

Lyrics

One day I slowly floated away
One day I slowly floated away
All the war horses wore rubber bands
To hide their hooves from sinking sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
Their destiny was not to die

Wake up in the morning
I shall wake up, and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies are growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint off
The nurses ivory chin
You've got a lot of nerve coming here
Your eyes are beating rhythms way
Faster than the speeding bullet that
Took the life of your radio

Wake up in the morning
I shall wake up, and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

And in the corner chair
Soft and soap-scented
My darling cries apologies
We foresee the mercy that's been shown
My young limbs will not go unthanked or unseen

Wake up in the morning
I shall wake up, and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

Ohhh, ahhh
Ohhh, ahhh
