Better Days (Elliott)
When we were young the future used to call
Like a siren in the sun
We raced along, we were running blindly,
to the great unknown.
Young, so young, we watched the sun and talked of dreams and plans
Better days, better ways, watch what you say
When you wish your life away
Better days, better ways, watch what you say
When you wish your life away
Another dawn, another dream is gone
Like a stranger in the night
Blown to ground by the wind of change
Like a broken kite
Strange, so strange, how futures change and rearrange your dreams
Better days, better ways, watch what you say
When you wish your life away
Better days, better ways, watch what you say
When you wish your life away
If there was no tomorrow, and no more time to borrow
The siren in the sun would call no more
Wed only have this moment; there would be no postponement,
Wed never wish our time away
Never need better days...
We lower our eyes from that far-flung tomorrow
Suddenly we see
The futures now, in all its simple beauty
And rich complexity
Precious time, oh! Precious time,
Im glad that you are mine
Better days, better ways, watch what you say
When you wish your life away
Better days, better ways, watch what you say
When you wish your life away
Like this one, good solid song - look forward to hearing the version with The Mojitos.
