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
