Oh, isn't it strange

How we move our lives for another day?

Like skippin' a beat

What if a great wave should wash us all away?

Just thinkin' out loud

I don't mean to dwell on this dying thing

But look at my blood

It's alive right now, deep and sweet within

Pourin' through our veins

Intoxicate, movin' wine to tears

And drinkin' it deep

Then an evening spent dancin', it's you and me

Oh, this love will open our world

From the dark side we can see the glow of something bright

Oh, there's much more than we see here

Don't burn the day away

Don't burn the day

Don't burn the day away

Is this not enough?

This blessed sip of life, is it not enough?

Starin' down at the ground

Oh, then complain and pray for more from above

You greedy, little pig

Stop, just watch your world trickle away

Oh, it's your problem now

And it'll all be dead and gone is a few short years

Oh, just love will open our eyes

Just love will put the hope back in our minds

Much more than we could ever know

Oh, so don't burn the day away

Don't burn the day away

Oh, come sister, my brother

Shake up your bones, shake up your feet

I'm saying, open up

And let the rain come pouring in

Wash out this tired notion

Know that the best is yet to come

But, oh, while you're dancin' on the ground

Don't think of, oh, when you're gone

Love (Love), love (Love), love (Love)

What more is there?

'Cause we need the light of love in here

Don't beat your head, dry your eyes

Lend the love in there

There's bad times

But that's okay

Just look for love in it

Hey, hey, and don't burn the day away

Look, here are we

On this starry night, starin' into space

And I must say

I feel as small as dust lyin' down here

Ah, what point could there be troubling?

Head down, wondering what will become of me

Why concern? We cannot see

But no reason to abandon it

The time is short, time, that's alright

Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night

But take your hands enough from your eyes, my love

All good things must come to an end sometime

Ah, but don't burn the day away, hey

Don't burn the day away

Ah, come sister, my brother

Shake up your bones, shake up your feet

And I'm sayin', open up

And let the rain come flooding in

Wash out this tired notion

Oh, that the best is yet to come

But oh, ooh, while you're dancin' on the ground

Don't think of when you're gone

Love (Love), love (Love), love (Love)

What more is there?

'Cause we need the light of love in here

Don't beat your head and dry your eyes

Lend the love in there

And bad times, well, that's okay

No, just look for love in here

Yeah, just let the love in there

Oh, love, right out

An ending for love
