A Day - Inara George

Give me something to laugh about

All this tenderness will wind me up

You won’t come Independence Day

To watch the arrows fly so aimlessly

What has come to me?

When I have watched the universe

The discovery

That everyone

Gets common

So strange

And perfect again

A life is full, a perfect form

Still we carry it hard in our arms

I’ve memorized the way of things

I’ll keep you around with remembering

What has come to me?

When I have watched the universe

The discovery

That everyone

Gets common

So strange

And perfect again

Everyone has moments like these

I don’t want to talk about it

What can I say to you

When there’s nothing to say

I will find all the reasons

And kill all the good ones

But time, after it all

It will be fine

What has come to me?

When I have watched the universe

The discovery

That everyone

Gets common

So strange

And perfect again

With every rush of blood that comes

When the sum of you could hide the sun

I’ll put it all away today

To watch the arrows fly so aimlessly
