Turning the Day

The summer blowout

So glad it’s over

I don’t know what I would have done

Your hesitation

Removed the meaning of the words

Without ascribing one

I built a life up

And then abated it

I have no need for history

While drawing guidelines

You turn the lights around

The shadows only follow me

So when you fly out

Try a cautious climb

The soothing glow

Was bound to die out

But how close we came…

Oooooooh

Your photostream it

Makes me feel as though

I’m going where I’ve never been

The fallow ground and

The restive living

Was a prison that l thrived within

[chorus]

Turning the day away….

We mod the view, man

We don’t need anybody

Showing us what we should do

So when you fly out

Try a cautious climb

The soothing glow

Was bound to die out

But how close we came

To never being here at all.

How close we came.

Oooooh
