lyrics

When This Day is Done

Before the morning takes flight / After a long and ragged night
With the stories still churning in my brain
The moon’s still in sight / Yet to give up the night
To this day when nothing will be the same
I’m still trying to make sense / Of these days of nonsense
When everything is coming undone
But I’ll do for you / What you’ve done for me
I’ll be with you when this day is done

Like a picture with no frame / Like those towns have no name
We search for what we know to be true

I am a working man / I’ve done all I can
To be an honest broker to you

In these places of grief/ you’ll be chased by a thief
There be no place left to run

I’ll do for you / What you’ve done for me
I’ll be with you when the day is done

Take them down to the river / Take them down to the water
Take them down to a brand new home

Make my cities of ashes/ Make my cities of bones
I’ll make sure that you’re that you’re never alone

When the spikes of suspicion / Lead to indecision
And you wonder why you have come

I’ll do for you / What you’ve done for me
I’ll be with you when the day is done

When there’s nothing left to hide / All the tricks have been tried
And there’s just you and me in the room
I’ll remember your beauty / I’ll remember your smile
And I hope you won’t leave me to soon
I’ve gone past being free / There’s a thousand ways to be
But to be yours there is really only one

I’ll do for you / What you’ve done for me
I’ll be with you when the day is done
