Day Late, A Dollar Short, A Songtext

Late at night as I lay down to sleep

I think of all the secrets people keep

like how I feel for you

Do you feel it too

or is it something we have to resume



We're just two people watching time fly by

In a world in its obvious decline

But we are young and strong

We can carry on

Find a little Paradise of our own



'COS NO ONE SAVES THE DAY

IT'S NO ONE ELSE'S FAULT

IF YOU'RE A DAY LATE OR A DOLLAR SHORT



Just think about how lovely life could be

Excluding all the man-made misery

If we're too far behind

And really out of time

Is there another world they plan to find?



TOO MANY DREAMS OF YOUTH

THAT WE NEVER CAUGHT

JUST A DAY LATE OR A DOLLAR SHORT



We're all just lonely people

Only dyin' to fall in love



FEELINGS THAT WE THOUGHT

DREAMS WE NEVER CAUGHT

JUST A DAY LATE OR A DOLLAR SHORT



THE LONELINESS, THE BLUES

FEELING SO DISTRAUGHT

WHEN YOU'RE A DAY LATE OR A DOLLAR SHORT



TOO MANY DREAMS OF YOUTH

THAT WE NEVER CAUGHT

JUST A DAY LATE OR A DOLLAR SHORT



AND NO ONE SAVES THE DAY

IT'S NO ONE ELSE'S FAULT

WHEN YOU'RE A DAY LATE OR A DOLLAR SHORT
