Pig

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 looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate
moving wine to tears
And drinking it deep
Then an evening
spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our world
From the dark side we can see
the glow of something bright
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
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 sisters,
my brothers,
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 there

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 all right
Maybe I'll go out
in the middle of the night,
And take your hand,
seeing from your eyes, my love
All good things must come
to an end sometime, oh,
but don't burn the day
away
Don't burn the day
away

Oh, come sisters,
my brothers,
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
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,
and dry your eyes,
let the love in there
The bad times,
well that's okay,
Let's just look for
love in here, yeah
Just let the love in there,
Oh love,
light up...
