Days Like This

days like this…
looking through limpid glass…
seemingly untouched by the hands of time…
savouring what’s left of our innocence…
before green leaves turn to gold
days like this…
crazy not to pin them down…
there’s got to be a way to stay
in this pure untroubled morning
before the need to change comes suddenly
before we turn the page
before we move on…
…and suddenly we see freedom isn’t free
suddenly we see we are
as little as a shooting star in a galaxy
so i’m going to leave the light on secretly
before a leap in the dark.
before i move on…
if only we could learn to give
what we have instead of what we need
if only we were the architects
of our own days…
days like this…
outgrowing our universe…
there’s got to be a way to stay
in this pure untroubled moment
days like this…
crazy not to be alive
