"Today" lyrics - CARL WILSON

I wake up in the planet's dawn
To find you here beside me
Through the blinds the bands of light
Throw circles round your hair
The passion of the here and now
The sweet taste of the coming
On your lips and in my heart
So naked and so honest

Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning
Leaders rise and soldiers fall
But gravity will take us all
Tomorrow dips away
This moment's where I'll stay
This love is mine today
Today

Let me tell you something about myself
And I don't talk too easily
That scented room on the nineteenth floor
Short stories on chordless phones
I quit smoking but drink too much
Don't try and analyse me
Found a smile inside my life
Now nothing feels so frightening

Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning
Leaders rise and soldiers fall
But gravity will take us all
Tomorrow dips away
This moment's where I'll stay
This love is mine today

This is love is mine today

And down on the darkest street
The day is waiting to begin
So draw back the curtains now
And let the love come rushing in

Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning
Leaders rise and soldiers fall
But gravity will take us all
Tomorrow dips away
This moment will not fade
This moment's where I'll stay
This love is mine today
