It's A Glorious Day

It’s a glorious day
The wind blows through the window that way
and to myself I say
it’s a glorious, glorious day
The clouds stretch out like cotton in the fray
floating on parade
of a glorious, glorious day
Never mind the city limits, take it out of town
Get on to the highway, wind the window down
There’s no reason to delay
on a glorious, glorious day
Kids run through the flicking sprinkler spray
They’re all coming out to play
on a glorious, glorious day
Your eyes were frozen, staring at the sky
Your eyes were frozen and I thought you had died
Thinking I could go that way
on a glorious, glorious day

Pray For Rain
03:56
|

|
I don’t think I set the record straight
You were never meant to carry that weight
Don’t you worry about a thing my dear
The only place that I will be is here
Don’t pray for rain, cause you’ll just complain
when you get wet
I don’t know why I always stay at home
Waiting for the concrete to erode
I should be a little more like you
and go and find something better to do
So I won’t pray for rain, cause I’ll just complain
and it’s all the same when it falls on my head

It's Not Trivial
02:56
|

|
It’s not trivial
The fact is not a mystery
Nor can I deny that it means much to me
Honestly, can you tell me please
what it means to you
It's not trivial
It’s an aeroplane
Roaring through the sky and you call me insane
You say I’ve changed
But I think you’ve changed
if you think that way
It’s not trivial
It’s written in history
If you close your eyes than baby it’s hard to see
Honestly, can you tell me please
It’s not trivial
It’s not trivial
It was meant to be
So why do you refuse to take it gracefully?
Honestly, can you tell me please
what you’re gonna do?

Slowdance
03:34
|
|||
|
I love to slowdance
and hum the tune
of that old record
that fills the room
to hold her closely
rock like the sea
I love her dearly
and she loves me
She treats me kindly
keeps me in stead
I’m always dreaming
as I am lead
across the ballroom
across the hall
We never stumble
I’ll never fall
I started dancing
when I was three
When we are children
we are more free
We learn to grow up
and run and fly
but we’ll be dancing
until we die

Peaceful And Quiet
08:21
|
|||
|
Some things are better left unsaid
Keep that saying inside your head
Peaceful and quiet, a good way to be
If something needs saying then say it to me
I ain’t afraid of speaking my mind
It’s down in the gutter most of the time
And nobody hears if I speak in a drone
and angle away from the microphone
I ain’t afraid of asking for help
It’s better than fucking it up by myself
I can’t read the signals you send with your eyes
And your expectations, they dress in disguise
You keep it hid
You know that I would come looking for it if you did
Sip on your tea before it goes cold
Did you notice it’s there? Do you need to be told?
And stop going back on the things that you say
You’ll be gone tomorrow but you love me today
I’m educated inside and out
I fear when I’m silent, I fear when I shout
And I ain’t got secrets no I ain’t got lies
So tell me your worries and I’ll tell you mine
