  • Now when I wake tomorrow morning, who will I be?
    A man strong and willing, or lost and angry?
    Someone's cherished lover, or my lover's enemy?

    Ah, this Lyme life, it cuts like a dull knife
    Ah, this Lyme life, the shadow left is me

    I loved the woods and the wildest places
    I made trails that left no traces
    I followed them to the ocean's roar
    Who on Earth could have asked for more?

    I spoke with seals and the white deer running
    Hawks and owls and a cougar cunning
    I breathed with dolphins as they swam by
    A blood-red sunset in my eyes

    Now when I wake tomorrow morning, will I be alone?
    A man with spark and humor, or wits as dull as stone?
    Will my body then betray me, and tremble to the bone

    Ah, this Lyme life, it cuts like a dull knife
    Ah, this Lyme life, the shadow left is me

    There's so much to learn, tell me where do I turn?
    Now that I've lost my health, my sanity
    I'm frightened, I'm sad
    I'm angry, I'm mad
    I'm feeling the bite of inhumanity

    And when I wake tomorrow morning, who will I be?
    A man who's strong and willing, or lost and angry?
    Someone's cherished lover, or my lover's enemy?

    Ah, this Lyme life, it cuts like a dull knife
    Ah, this Lyme life, tell me where is my sweet life?
    Ah, this Lyme life, the shadow left is me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
