The The - This Is The Day (1983)

From the album Soul Mining in 1983



Well... you didnt wake up this morning,
cause you didnt go to bed.
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red!

The calendar on your wall -- is ticking -- the days off.

Youve been reading some old letters.
You smile and think how much youve changed.
All the money in the world couldnt buy back those days.

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
This is the day -- when things fall into place.

You couldve done anything, if youd wanted.
And all your friends and family think that youre lucky.
But the side of you theyll never see
Is when youre left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like -- glue

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
This is the day -- when things fall into place.

This is the day -- your life will surely change.
(repeat to fade)
