Today

(Mark Hollis - Simon Brenner)



I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover

You'll know who I am by the song that I sing

I'll eat at your table and I'll sleep in your clover

Who cares what tomorrow shall bring.



Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine

I'll taste your strawberrys and I'll drink your sweet wine

And a million tomorrows shall all pass away

Here I forget all the joy that is mine today.



I can't be contented with yeasterday's glory

I can't live on promissess winter just brings

Today is my moment and right now is my story

While I laught and I cry and I sing.



Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine

I'll taste your strawberrys and I'll drink your sweet wine

And a million tomorrows shall all pass away

Here I forget all the joy that is mine today...
