Before the Light is Gone

Well, I'd better get myself out
 Every morning brings another song
 With a melody to develop
 Morning, before the light is gone
 I hear on the bustling sidewalk
 Better keep on with my keeping on
 If I am on a bus that's piled up
 Working till the light is gone
 Street car rolling
 And the people on
 For me I was scrawling
 With a head full of songs
 I feel like a fainting flower
 Dreaming of when we were young
 Trying to fill every waking hour
 With meaning before the light is gone
 The rain kept falling
 A weekend long
 Me, I was scrawling
 With a head full of songs
 Well I tried to keep myself from
 Feeling like I don't belong
 Let's see what this life is so welcome
 Feeling, before the light is gone
 I'm all in, before the light is gone
 All day, before the light is gone
