Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you should wake and find me gone
Keep safe this night and dwell upon
Such murmurations, sun sunk deep
Now close your eyes and go to sleep
[Verse 2]
What a day it's been
A day of shoot the breezing
What a day it's been this time of year
Oh, yes, it has
Just a day when the weight of the world slides away
[Verse 3]
Feel that sun on your back
See the shadows falling
Sea meets shore and soothes it with a song
Oh, yeah
If this should be my last day on Earth, I'll sing along
[Verse 4]
Let's forget all the skies cast over and gray
And the squalling tempests of doubt
Holding on, clinging tight in the wreckage of love
But today
[Verse 5]
What a time to dream, what a day of easy
What a day it's been this time of year
Oh, yeah
Just a day when the weight of the world slides away
[Verse 6]
Evening star, a guitar in the smoke of the fire
Light of gold in the garden of old
I would take it all again if it came my way
But today
