Ron Sexsmith — Before The Light Is Gone lyrics

Lyrics

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
