One More Day to Come Lyrics[Verse 1]
I saw the stars on the Milky Way tonight
Considered the brevity of life
In this lonely world of ours, all the rivers tend to dry
All the ravens beat their wings into the sky
I heard the wind shake the trees until they dropped
Their bony limbs tore the ground apart
My body didn't flinch, but my mind, it didn't stop
Thinking about that is and then what's not
[Chorus]
Oh, time, he smiles like an orphan child
Marching to the beat of a silent drum
And I watched all my roses grow wild
Until they wilted in the sun
[Verse 2]
And I walked the road crumbling 'neath my weary feet
When I reached the end, the dirt turned into weeds
There, all alone, I felt the night anchor my knees
And the visions of my past appeared like thieves
I put my hands in the pockets at my side
Then pressed them into one and prayed to God
This vapor that I've stabbed, Lord, with these rusty blades of mine
Why's it all so hard? It feels so wrong
[Chorus]
Oh, time, he smiles like an orphan child
Marching to the beat of a silent drum
And I watched all my roses grow wild
Until they wilted in the sun
[Outro]
As this path begins to part, all these dreams I had I lost
I can't just watch until it's all gone
In this godless sky above sings the evening's evil dove
And all I want is one more day to come
