Song Lyrics

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 cordless phones
I quit smoking but drink too much
Don't try and analyze 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
