Oh, isn't it strange How we move our lives for another day? It's like skipping a beat What if a great wave should wash us all away? I'm just thinking out loud I don't mean to dwell on this dying thing But looking at our love It's alive right now And deep and sweet within Pouring through our veins Oh intoxicate me moving wine to tears And drinking it deeply Oh an evening spent dancing It's you and me, uh Just love will open our eyes Just love to put the hopes back in our minds What's more that we could ever know our so Don't throw your day, away Don't throw the day, away Oh, is this not enough? This blessed sip of life Is it not enough? Staring down at the ground And we complain and pray and need more and more from above Like greedy little pigs Stop and watch the world as you wear those wear Oh, it's your problem now 'Cause you and me will be dead and gone in a few short years Oh, just love will open our eyes Only love will put the hope in our minds Much more than we could ever know Oh, so don't throw the day away, uncivilize day Don't throw the day,, away Oh, 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 And know that the best is yet to come But oh, while you're dancing on the ground What you gon' like when you're gone Love, love, love, what more is there? 'Cause we need all the sweet light of love in here Don't beat your head Dry your eyes Let the love in there There are bad times Oh that's okay You just get for love in it And don't throw the day away Don't throw the day away, oh so like here Look, here are we On this perfect night, thinking out in space All that I must say That I feel as small as dust lying down here Oh, what point could there be troubling? Head down wondering what will become of me? Why concern when we cannot see it all But, no reason to abandon this All time is short time, that's all right Maybe we all should go out in the middle of the night Still take your hands from your eyes, my love 'Cause all good things must come to an end some time Still don't throw the day away, uncivilize day Don't throw 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 And know that the best is yet to come 'Cause oh, while you're dancing on the ground Why think of times when you're gone Love, love, love, what more is there? 'Cause we need all the good light of love in here Don't beat your head Dry your eyes Let the love in there There are bad times And that's okay You just look for love in there Yeah, you just look for love in here You gon' love, only Love away, eh Just look for love in here, away oh

Crazy as I may Make my way through this world Oh, it's for no one but me to say What direction I should turn in now 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Wanting eyes and kissing lips The same as it was And will remain until I'm done and gone Strange, but it seems There's mutiny brewing inside of me now I don't want your pity Just the promise that I'll be alright 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was And will be until I'm gone Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still think it's strange? I won't be here for long Oh, I know that I feel Oh, wait and go again, again Oh, look, I'm buried Like a cancer eating away inside of me I don't want your pity Only the promise that I'll be okay now But I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was before here Here, back after all Why should I be hypnotized By the promise of a long life? Why should I hold hope In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by? Why should I lean on everything upon? I won't be here long Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still seems a truth I won't be long for here Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this On now your lips I'm drowning I am the captain of, oh, but, I'll be okay after all
