Oh, isn't it strange
how we move our lives for another day
like skipping a beat?
what if a great wave should wash us all away?
just thinking out loud
don't mean to dwell on this 'dying' thing
but look at my blood
it's alive right now, deep and sweet within
pouring through our veins
intoxicate, moving wine to tears
and drinking it deep
and an evening spent dancing
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?
staring 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 in 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
oh, that the best is yet to come
but, oh, while you're dancing on the ground
don't think of, oh, when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'cause we need the light of love in here
don't beat your head, dry your eyes
let the love in there
there's bad times, but that's okay
just look for love in it
and don't burn the day away

Look, here are we
on this starry night staring into space
and I must say
I feel as small as dust lying down here, oh

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
take your hands from your eyes, my love
all good things must come to an end sometime, ah
but 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 flooding in
wash out this tired notion
oh, that the best is yet to come
but oh, while you're dancing on the ground
don't think of when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'cause we need the light of love in here
don't beat your head, dry your eyes
let the love in there
there bad times, well, that's okay
oh, just look for love in here, yeah
just let the love in there
oh, love, right out, many more, love
