Just So
Agnes Obel Lyrics
Black turns beamy bright
Turning on the light
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
Tiptoe over the floor
What are you waiting for?
So so and no more
That's all to be sorry for
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
You hear the minutes kick and play
The order of the day
Is hollering your way
The window shade
The nursing aid
To let it all just work away
From head to toe
A shadow grows
Since forever and a day
Quiet moments hum
But some do you wrong
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
No time for tea or lemonade
Someone has set the date
We're only half the way
Drink a toast to the sun
To the things that never come
To the break of the day
That is all I say

I heard her on the radio today for the first time, probably heard her before without knowing but this time she has had my full attention.. just after the radiopeople told her name I saved it in my mobile, just so i can listen to her right this second and enjoy my evening. this is beautiful.
