A Day In The Life of My iPod

I hear the crystal raindrops fall

On the window down the hall

And it becomes the morning dew

Must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint by Number morning sky

Looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere

Light a candle, curse the glare

Draw the curtains I don't care,  

‘Cause It's all right

My tea's gone cold,
I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

the morning rain clouds up my window 
and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be grey, 
but your picture on my wall

it reminds me that it's not so bad, 
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, 
my head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, 
I'm late for work again

and even if I'm there, they'll all imply 
that I might not last the day

and then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

When the day that lies ahead of me

Seems impossible to face

When someone else instead of me

Always seems to know the way

'Cause there maybe times

When you think you lost your mind

And the steps you're takin'

Leave you three, four steps behind

But the road you're walking

Might be long sometimes

You just keep on steppin'

And you'll just be fine, yeah

Walking in rhythm

Movin' in sound

Hummin' to the music

Tryin' to move on

Did you find the directing sign on the

Straight and narrow highway

Would you mind a reflecting sign

Just let it shine within your mind

And show you the colors that are real

Well, it's not far down to paradise, 
at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away 

and find tranquility

Oh, the canvas can do miracles, 
just you wait and see.

It's not far to never-never land, 
no reason to pretend

And if the wind is right you can find the joy 
of innocence again

Oh, the canvas can do miracles, 
just you wait and see.

Clouds

Different shapes and sizes

Hiding the horizon

Clouds

In the distance

Coming to change my plans

All my dreams will melt like sand

Sunny days

Everybody loves them

Tell me, can you stand the rain?

Storms will come

This we know for sure,

Tell me, can you stand the rain?

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shiny day.

I wanna be free as that white line in the sky              

On that train all graphite and glitter

Undersea by rail

Ninety minutes from New York to Paris

(More leisure for artists everywhere)

A just machine to make big decisions

Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision

We'll be clean when their work is done

We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young

These are the days that I’ve been missing

Give me the taste, give me the joy of some wine

These are the days that bring new meaning

I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

Sometimes when the nights are closing early

I remember you and I start to smile

You need the evening action,

a place to dine, a glass of wine,

a little late romance.

It's a chain reaction.

You'll see the people of the world

coming out to dance.

'Cause there's music in the air

and lots of loving everywhere

so give me the night

Old black water, keep on rollin'

Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me

Keep on shinin' your light

Gonna make everything,

Gonna make everything all right

And I ain't got no worries

'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

You're a shining star

No matter who you are

Shining bright to see

What you could truly be

We get it almost every night

When that ol' moon gets-a big and bright

It's a supernatural delight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight

They don't bark, and they don't bite

They keep things loose, they keep things light

Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody's feelin' warm and right

It's such a fine and natural sight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight

You can't dance and stay uptight

It's a supernatural delight

Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

You meet every kind of person moving toward the morning side

You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad

You play every midnight gambler before you see the light

On the morning side…

You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side

To earn one more second chance, you learn the dance

When you finally climb the mountain, you see the other side

It's the morning side…

Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see

Now I'm living on the morning side

Now I'm letting all the sunlight into me

Now I'm free

And I know I'll never pass that way again

That dark journey to the morning side...
