This is my hour
I'm never going to bed
the sky's still black
but begs to be red
I've just put
my book down
but it begs to be read
I'm not not
I'm not a napper
never rest my head
Some days I feel
I'm getting smaller
and smaller
But some nights
I seem to grow
taller and taller
And we keep
shrinkin' and shrinkin'
but this will not finish
You're never nothing
if you didn't disappear
just when I discovered
the meaning of life
they change it
Just when I'm loving life
it seems to start raining
I pulled the sail
safe switch
the sea settled
and I'm aiming
for the stars
I love the rain
out my skies
the sky's now red
my eyes reflect jets
Smiling at this blessing
this life is the best
I came to this world
with nothing
and I leave with
nothing but love
Everything else
is just borrowed
I wanna notice
chances I've passed
without notice
I wanna see details
previously veiled
I wanna grab that chance
Carry it home
so I can marry
and know
That I noticed
every chance
that I could have
passed without notice
I saw details that
to all were veiled
and I grabbed those
chances
Carried them home
and then I'll have
had it with roaming
I came to this world
with nothing
and I leave with
nothing but love
Everything else
is just borrowed....
I want to speak every
cliche but tweak
if I see change
in a new way
it could be saved
If it's bleak
or if the weeks
leaking down the street
or if any days wasted
I want to face facts
My time on this earth
is my only penny
wise is the gent counting
every moment spent
I don't want to
explain things
don't wanna fill
in the gaps
I wanna look
at my friends
and in that minute
be at
Memories are
times we borrow
for spending tomorrow
Memories are times
we borrow
for spending tomorrow
I came to this world
with nothing
and I leave with
nothing but love
Everything else
is just borrowed....
It's a bit like luck
you can only seem
to borrow it
you can't keep it
When the wind of change
whistles into play
will I blink
or flinch away?
The wind of change
won't whistle me away
if I spin my tails
and sail
And sail away
let yesterday
become today
I came to this world
with nothing
and I leave with
nothing but love
Everything else
is just borrowed...
As time will say
nothing but
I told you so
Memories are times
we borrow
for spending tomorrow
