Bonus Track
Michael Bloodgood & Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close your eyes the world can wait
It's bitter dreams can all be faced
After the morning comes
We won’t mind if you sleep on
Or choose to chase the setting sun
But we must face the dawn
Don’t look back it’s grown too late
With plow in hand don’t hesitate for long
Don’t leave undone
Oh our hearts beat
Only so often
So where does our life go
In the moments in between
We will sing a song to you
A song to soothe the nightmares too
See now they’re chased away
So this time let the world slide by
Let your voice and body side with all
We have to say
Oh our hearts beat
Only so often
So where does our life go
In the moments in between
Oh our hearts beat
Only so often




So where does our life go
In the moments in between
