lyrics

i got out of bed before the sun had touched the sky
i didn't sleep too good because of things in my mind
i put on my shoes to walk that rainy mile
but i can still find a million reasons to smile

i ain't got no money busting out my pockets
i can't afford to tell my boss to stuff it
so i will keep on working all the hours on the clock
and i will find a reason to keep on ticking on

so pretty baby take off those shoes
remove all all that weight from crushing you
lets you and me take a stroll from sole to sole
get rid of all consuming us and consume the world

leave behind you that portable disease
step into reality do whatever you please
there ain't no time to be pleasing everyone
look after your soul it's worth more than gold

i am simply making my way through time
but i would be honoured if you were by my side
through all the changes the ups and the downs
come dance in the rain and jump on the clouds

sometimes too much seems to be on my mind
so i head to the edge to help me kill some time
i either count the waves or the grains of sand
and briefly forget that this whole world is damned

i ain't got no cares any more
i try to do my best and forget all the rest
loving you is the easiest thing to do
so come on baby let's leave behind these blues
