Stranger flowers yet, there will never come a day that will ever regret Thehours, days, years and the minutes The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in itThe drives on the coast to nowhere, nothing to say just sit and stare There'snothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable Not talking small, justskip the bull Then I find myself in servility, didn't think that was my abilityI go a yard and a mile to make you smile, but then I'm happy see I got so manyways to make your gaze elliptical Got a ways to go, the future's so crypticaland I'm glad Just another many things we've had It’s 8:16 A.M. will youwake up to me, the first thing that you see My eyes open, I'm just hopin' youfeel the same as me The day starts carefully On the sidewalk with the dog,you're right last night I was a hog Come on I'm sorry It's 73 degrees, Januaryeasily glides Stranger flowers still, if you're gonna wanna go another day Iwill Like this, make it a deal, sealed with a kiss Sealed with the feel ofimpermanent bliss Today my love we shall let the world slide Turn off the ringerand just glide For we shall never be younger again than, what do you see It's8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me, the first thing that you see My eyes open, I'mjust hopin' you feel the same as me The day starts carefully On the sidewalkwith the dog, you're right last night I was a hog Come on I'm sorry Holiday onthe radio, Billie knows that is the way to go The way to go A place where weboth can spend our same time, not collecting interest Maybe the same reason wealways find ourselves homebound I've got to do some homework The leave responsewe want to leave Wisconsin for a new life A new trailer with an antenna and aporch Of course we'll bring the dog.
