Before the Light Is Gone
Well I'd better get myself out
Every morning brings another song
With a melody to develop
Morning, before the light is gone
I hear on the bustling sidewalk
Better keep on with my keeping on
If I am on a bus that's piled up
Working till the light is gone
Street car rolling
And the people on
For me I was scrawling
With a head full of songs
I feel like a fainting flower
Dreaming of when we were young
Trying to fill every waking hour with meaning before the light is gone
The rain kept falling
A weekend long
Me I was scrawling
With a head full of songs
