If Today Were a Song
Woke up ten past ten…..exact time I was born
Day punctured my skin,
Be it a rose, I’ve found the thorn
Lazy lids are lifted, day disguised as a gift
Sun beckons my shadow
Back to sleep, I start to drift
( Chorus)
If I give into slumber, the earth may swallow me
If I give into slumber I might feel my mind is free
I awaken naked, cold and alone
Heavy feet find the floor
Breathe deep, filled and ready,
If feel this day may warm the bone
I’ll always question the tune of hope
Today’s glint of life’s musical score
When I shake my head to reason,
The pain of love is something more
(Chorus)
If I give into slumber, the earth may swallow me
If I give into slumber, I might feel my mind is free
Somehow today is different
Than it was before
You must have known it’s you I’d miss
But in my dream you shut the door
(Chorus)
If I give into slumber, the earth may swallow me
If I give into slumber, I might feel my mind is free
Back to sleep, I nearly escape me
Escape today, and your last kiss
Still in your absence
I can’t argue, this day is a gift
