Pig

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
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 a glow of
Something bright
There's much more
Than we see here
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
More from above
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

Just love will
Open our eyes
Just love will put the
Hope in our minds
Much more than
We could ever know
Don't burn the day away

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
That the best is
Yet to come
But while you're
Dancing on the ground
Don't think of
When you're gone

Love! love!?
What more is there?
We need the light of
Love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there

There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
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
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
Time is short but
That's all right
Maybe I'll go in
The middle of the night
Take your hands
From your eyes
My love
Everything must end
Some time
Don't burn the day away

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
That the best is
Yet to come
But while you're
Dancing on the ground
Don't think of
When you're gone

Love! love!?
What more is there?
We need the light of love
In here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there

There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
