Today Lyrics

(John Waite/Phil Galdston) I wake up in the planet's dawn To find you here beside me Through the blinds the bands of light Throw circles round your hair The passion of the here and now The sweet taste of the coming On your lips and in my heart So naked and so honest Children laughing in the street The world grows underneath our feet still yearning Flowers bursting through concrete And everything keeps turning Leaders rise and soldiers fall But gravity will take us all Tomorrow dips away This moment's where I'll stay This love is mine today Today Let me tell you something about myself And I don't talk too easily That scented room on the nineteenth floor Short stories on chordless phones I quit smoking but drink too much Don't try and analyse me Found a smile inside my life Now nothing feels so frightening Children laughing in the street The world grows underneath our feet still yearning Flowers bursting through concrete And everything keeps turning Leaders rise and soldiers fall But gravity will take us all Tomorrow dips away This moment's where I'll stay This love is mine today This is love is mine today And down on the darkest street The day is waiting to begin So draw back the curtains now And let the love come rushing in Children laughing in the street The world grows underneath our feet still yearning Flowers bursting through concrete And everything keeps turning Leaders rise and soldiers fall But gravity will take us all Tomorrow dips away This moment will not fade This moment's where I'll stay This love is mine today
