Songs of the Moment
Thursday, October 18, 2001
speak to me in a language I can hear
humor me before I have to go
deep in thought I forgive everyone
as the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late
supper's waiting on the table
tomorrow's just an excuse away
so I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my onw
the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
at the blasphmey in my old jangly walk
steeple guides me to my heart and home
the sun is out and up and down again
I know we'll make it, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
and you can make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you
and for a moment I lose myself
wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
journey here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts I still find my friends
mysteries not ready to reveal
sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
tomorrow's just an excuse for you
to make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you
to make it last,forever you
forever you
I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you
And I never thought it would hurt just to hear
"I do" and "I do"
And I do a number on myself
And all that I thought to be
And you'll be the one
That just left me undone
By my own, hesitation
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.
Well I'm on a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high
I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high, high
Spring turned to summer
But then winter turned to mean
The distance seemed right
At the time it was best - to leave
And to leave behind
What I once thought was fine And so real - to me
And while I'm still gone
On the quest for my song
I'm at your - celebration
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.
Well I'm on a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high
I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high, high
Your wagons been hitched to a star
Well now he'll be your thing that's new
Yeah what little I have you can borrow
'Cause I'm old and I'm blue...
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.
Well I'm on a champagne high (so high)
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high (so high)
Toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high... high...
So high so high you left me undone
so high, so high you left me undone....
