Any Other Day

I can hear the traffic, baby
 People with a place to go
 Any other day, any other day
 I could have direction also
 I can hear cathedral choirs
 I can hear the Easter bells
 Any other day, any other day
 You could be my prophet, baby
 But I woke up late this morning
 Black coffee and cigarettes
 I really ought to take it easy
 I'm not ready to ascend just yet
 I can see the lovers strolling
 Up and down the boulevard
 Any other day, any other day
 I would surely join them, baby
 I can hear your heart beat calling
 Calling from around the world
 Any other day, any other day
 I would be your husband, baby
 But you know I'm hardly faithful
 Difficult and self-absorbed
 As much as I adore you, baby
 I'm not willing to hurt you more
 I know I had a chance at love for life
 And I may die having let it passed me by
 Me by, me by
 I can see the children baby
 Making up and breaking rules
 Any other day, any other day
 I could be a child just like them
 Finally the sun is shining
 Smiling when I think of you
 Any other day, any other day
 You would be my one and only
 I never been accused of brilliance
 I never learned from my mistakes
 I never seem to get the message
 Always somebody's heart that breaks
 But I woke up late this morning
 Black coffee and cigarettes
 I really ought to get more sleep
 I'm not ready to ascend just yet
 I know I had a chance at love for life
 And I may die having let it passed me by
 Hey baby, pass me by
 And I can hear the traffic baby
 People with a place to go
 Any other day, any other day
 I could have direction also
