Another Living Day - Alison Moyet

Ours was the best September

Of blue and gold it was

Of aching nights

And sleep-all days

I made my way to meet you

By then the air had changed

And you had seen me everywhere and they sparkled

And shined like new

Like you said I used to

Another magic day is lost on you

And all the love falls through your fingers

Another living day is lost and gone on you

One night you took me driving

You coloured everyone in shades that I’d never seen

You said someone had left you

You’d tried your very best

(What silver clouded eyes see)

Saying stay when leaving me

When I’m all that you need

Another magic day is lost on you

And all the love falls through your fingers

Another living day is lost and gone on you

If you could feel it now

Warmer than magenta skies

My spirits burning just like the blazing cheeks on the face

Of a young child

And it’s wild

Another magic day is lost on you

(What a day another living day)
