lyrics

There's a time
before sunfall and moonrise
when my brain loses sight of itself,
and I have to call i back for a moment
to keep track
of where it's been in this
twilight hell.

Look out for that nightlife will take you
to sin city and some backwater towns.
Before you can rise you'll be washed up--
another kid with just another song.

There's a time in the late morning daylight
when the sun hits the top of the sky,
and I just can't stand up and be the man
that I dream of
with a million songs and nothing but time.

Look out for that A.M. will make you
think sleep is the only refuge
from a day full of failing and the fractured
feeling
that there's not
a thing you can do.

Now is the time I always sing of
my great love and the good folks in life,
and I'll do my best until the day that I day,
but I just can't help from crying.

Because the artist is just a gambler--
sometimes he's up and sometimes he's down,
writing his way to be more than
another kid with just another sound.
