The Gift of Day

Today I was given The gift of day But spent it in The troubles of yesterday Gone away Gone away Oh my day Today I awoke to The sound of my heart It howled And it begged To be let from the dark I wish I was a sailor And could sail the high seas Surrender to the waves That crash upon me Gone away Gone away All my days Today I was given The gift of day I hung a noose around Tomorrows pain A gift I did not ask Nor deserve For my wrongs A gift that was spent In sorrow's song Gone away Gone away The gift of day
