Agnes Obel - Just So

Black turns beat me 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
Thats all to be sorry for.

Today is gonna be the day, you hear somebody say,
We need you wide awake
You hear the moments 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 some body say
We need you wide awake
No time for tea or lemonade.
Someone has set the date
Were 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 that I say
