Oh, isn't it strange

How we move our lives for another day?

Like skipping a beat

What if a great wave should wash us all away?

Just thinking out loud

Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing

But look at my blood

It's alive right now,

And deep and sweet within

Pouring through our veins

Intoxicate moving wine to tears

And drinking it deep

Then an evening spent dancing

It's you and me...

This love will open our world

From the dark side we can see a glow of something
bright

Oh, there's much more than we see here

Don't burn the day away

Is this not enough?

This blessed sip of life,

Is it not enough?

Staring down at the ground

Oh, then complain and pray for more from above,

You greedy little pig

Stop, just watch your world trickle away

Oh, it's your problem now

It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years

Just love will open our eyes

Just love will put the hope back in our minds

Much more than we could ever know

Oh, so don't burn the day away

Don't burn the day away

Come sister, my brother

Shake up your bones, shake up your feet

I'm saying open up

And let the rain come pouring in

Wash out this tired notion

That the best is yet to come

But while you're dancing on the ground

Don't think of when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?

'Cause we need the light of love in here

Don't beat your head

Dry your eyes

Let the love in there

There's bad times

But that's okay

Just look for love in it

And don't burn the day away...

Look, here are we

On this starry night, staring into space

And I must say

I feel as small as dust lying down here

What point could there be troubling?

Head down wondering what will become of me?

Why concern we cannot see

But no reason to abandon it

The time is short but that's all right

Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night

Take your hands from your eyes, my love

All good things must come to an end some time

But don't burn the day away

Don't burn the day away...

Come sister, my brother

Shake up your bones, shake up your feet

I'm saying open up

And let the rain come flooding in

Wash out this tired notion

That the best is yet to come

But while you're dancing on the ground

Don't think of when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?

'Cause we need the light of love in here

Don't beat your head

Dry your eyes

Let the love in there

There're bad times

But that's okay

Just look for love in it
