Touch me in the mornin'
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Hey, wasn't it me who said
That nothin' good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feelin' that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye
In the cold mornin' light
But I can't watch love die
In the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to
Have tonight, when you're gone?
'Til you go, I need to
Lie here and think about
The last time that you'll
ouch me in the mornin'
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me
Empty like before
Hey, wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us?
(Didn't we run?)
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to
Have tonight, when you're gone?
'Til you go, I need to
Hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and
Touch me in the mornin'
(In the mornin')
We're blue and gold
And we could feel one another livin'
(Then just walk away)
We walked with a dream to hold
And we could take what the world was givin'
(We don't have tomorrow)
There's no tomorrow here
There's only love and the time to chase it
(But we had yesterday)
Yesterday's gone, my love
There's only now and it's time to face it
(Touch me in the mornin')

Being alive
Twee geweldige songs!
"Bein' Alive"
I was born in a Midwest town
Lookin' for some trouble, I was California bound
I knew I could find one or two
She would take me for a ride
Screaming down the road with the devil inside
I knew it was just a drive-thru
Drinkin' all the poison, soakin' up the sun
I didn't really like her, but I thought it was love for a while
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love being alive
I gathered the pain in a paper cup
Stood in the rain just to fill it up
Some days
Felt like anyway
Well, Job in the Bible got nothin' on me
But the more that I cried, the more I could see
Some days
Felt like anyway
Then there were times I was down on my knees
Sayin', "This is gonna break me, this is gonna bleed for a while"
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love being alive
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything changes, everything breathes
I'm riding on the edge, I'm living the dream for a while
Then hours turn to days
And it all blows away
What a sacred ride
God, I love being alive
God, I love being alive
God, I love being alive
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah
Alive, alive
God, I love being alive
Rise There's a raven outside my window
Trying hard to fly against the wind
And there's a voice deep down inside me
Sayin' let it go and let it in
You're gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You're gonna taste the dirt sometimes
Then you're gonna rise
There's a shelf inside my house
Where the ashes of the anger hide
And there's a voice deep down inside me
Says it's time to change the story of my pride
You're gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You're gonna taste the dirt sometimes
Then you're gonna rise, gonna rise
Why is it so damn easy
To make it so damn hard?
There's a hope I dare not speak
Frustrating, most people find
You don't need to change to set me free
No, 'cause I am always free to change my mind
Gonna fall to the earth sometimes
You're gonna taste the dirt sometimes
You're gonna really hurt sometimes
You're gonna feel just like you're dying
Then you're gonna rise
You're gonna rise
You're gonna rise
Rise up
You're gonna rise
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Come on and rise up
Rise up
