Just So

Black turns beamy bright Turning on the light Today is gonna be the day You hear somebody say We need you wide awake Tiptoe over the floor What are you waiting for? So so and no more That's all to be sorry for Today is gonna be the day You hear somebody say We need you wide awake You hear the minutes kick and play The order of the day Is hollering your way The window shade The nursing aid To let it all just work away From head to toe A shadow grows Since forever and a day Quiet moments hum But some do you wrong Today is gonna be the day You hear somebody say We need you wide awake No time for tea or lemonade Someone has set the date We're only half the way Drink a toast to the sun To the things that never come To the break of the day That is all I say --- Just So - Agnes Obel
