gonna be a long day
and we’re only getting started
could be any old day
but you’d already know
that
I could climb a mountain
in my backyard
and
you can plant a garden
it really isn’t hard
I guess it’s just a tired tired old day
when getting it right doesn’t seem to pay
I could be your best friend
We’ve said this all before
I said that where we’re goin
there would be more
and
I’m going to keep it simple
wait till day becomes night
If I’m going to burn this candle
I just need a light
I guess it’s just a tired tired old day
when getting it right doesn’t seem to pay
I guess it’s just a daydream
waiting to be yours
I know I started later
but can I still do your chores?
can you show me to the pantry
can I take out the trash
maybe make a little herb tea
help you clean up your past
Cause it’s just a tired tired old day
when getting it right doesn’t seem to pay
(I think I’ll eat a grapefruit
when I wake up in the morning)
