Pig

Lyrics

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 lookin' 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
 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
 Ya 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 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 (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 OK
 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 all right
 May we'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 some time, oh
 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 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), love (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 are bad times
 Well, that's OK
 Just look for love in it, yeah
 Just let love in there, oh, love
 Right on a newborn love, oh
