Ron Sexsmith - Before the Light Is Gone lyrics

Well, I'd better get myself up 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 Open before the light is gone Street car rolling Letting people on For me I was strolling With a head full of songs I feel like a faded 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 Out a head full of songs Well I try to keep myself from Feeling like I don't belong Let's see what this life's so welcome Feeling, before the light is gone I'm all in, before the light is gone All day, before the light is gone
