Lyrics

Isn't it strange 
How we move our lives for another day 
Like skipping a beat 
What if a great wave should wash us all away 
Just thinking out loud 
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing 
But looking at blood 
It's alive right now 
Deep and sweet within 
Pouring through our veins 
Intoxicate moving wine to tears 
Drinking it deep 
Then an evening spent dancing 
It's you and me 
This love will open our world 
From the dark side we can see the glow of something bright 
There's much more than we see here 
Don't burn the day away 
Don't burn the day 
Don't burn the day away 

Is this not enough? 
This blessed sip of life, is it not enough? 
Staring down at the ground 
Oh, then complain and pray for more from above, 
You greedy little pig, 
Stop, just watch your world trickle away 
Oh, it's your problem now 
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years 

Oh, just love will open our eyes 
Just love will put the hope back in our minds 
Much more than we could ever know 
Oh, so don't burn the day away 
Don't burn the day away 

Oh, come sisters, my brothers, 
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet, 
I'm saying, open up and let the rain come pouring in 
Wash out this tired notion 
Oh, that the best is yet to come 
But oh, while you're dancing on the ground, 
Don't think of, oh, when you're gone 
Love, love, love, what more is there? 
'Cause we need the light of love in here 
Don't beat your head, dry your eyes, let the love in there, 
There's bad times but that's okay, just look for love in there 

And don't burn the day away 
Look, here are we, 
On this starry night, staring into space 
And I must say, I feel as small as dust lying down here 

Oh, what point could there be troubling 
Head down, wondering, "what will become of me?" 
Why concern? We cannot see but no reason to abandon it 
The time is short, time, that's all right 
Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night, 
And take your hand, look in your eyes, my love 
All good things must come to an end sometime 

Oh, but don't burn the day away 
Don't burn the day away 

Oh, come sisters, my brothers, 
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet, 
I'm saying open up and let the rain come flooding in 
Wash out this tired notion 
That the best is yet to come 
But, oh, while you're dancing on the ground 
Don't think of when you're gone 
Love, love, love, what more is there? 
'Cause we need the light of love in here 
Don't beat your head, and dry your eyes, let the love in there 
The bad times, well that's okay, 
Let's just look for love in here, yeah 

Just let the love in there, 
Oh love, light up
