every second of the day
Every second of the day
We are one second away
From something
That is here to stay.
It may be out there
Or right along our side
But we don’t see it
Till it’s too late to hide.
We cut our plans
In diamond stone
That turn to sand
Before we reach home.
We cut a deal
With the queen of hearts
Who’s really the joker
Playing her part.
Winning and losing
Both have the same start
And the same end
Somewhere in your heart.
One you seek
And one you fear
But which is which
Is not always clear.
You want something bad
And then again you don’t.
When it comes down to it
You don’t even vote.
My heart is racing
On a breakneck ride
Waiting for a blue moon
To flood its tide.
So put on your blue dress
And a sting of blue pearls.
I’ll do the rest,
If you’ll be my girl.
We take big steps
To the end of the line
Walking on a treadmill
That’s hidden in time.
My honey, you know,
She sure has sweet lips
And when she kisses me
I sure stay kissed.
Eternity stuck
When our lips touched.
They can’t take that away
No matter what they say.
I wrote it in the history book,
No matter that I’m the loser.
It can’t be undone
Even if I choose to.
My heart is racing
On a breakneck ride
Waiting for a blue moon
To flood its tide.
So put on your blue dress
And a sting of blue pearls.
I’ll do the rest,
If you’ll be my girl.
It’s a hot summer day.
There’s a cool breeze blowing.
I’m on the same path
Where once it was snowing.
Hot or cold,
North or South,
I got directions
Pouring out of my mouth.
Maybe they are right
And maybe they are wrong.
It’s so hard to get
Where you think you belong.
There’s tenderness waiting
For us out there.
Maybe it’s right next to us
And we’re just unaware.
The future is waiting
And so is the past.
It’s tough to know
For which you should ask.
In our present
The past is on the way
Colliding with the future
Every second of the day
Bringing us something
That is here to stay.
My heart is racing
On a breakneck ride
Waiting for a blue moon
To flood its tide.
So put on your blue dress
And a sting of blue pearls.
I’ll do the rest,
If you’ll be my girl.
