The Day Before the Day

Speeches won't be made today

Clocks will carry on.

Flowers won't be left in parks

Work will still be done.

People won't be dressed in black

Babies will be born.

No flags will fly, the sun will rise

But we will know that you are gone.

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough.

It wakes me every single night thinking through the day

Did you stop at any time

Have doubts at any stage.

Or were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done

I've lived my life without regret until today

And you who love to love

And believed we can never give enough.

I didn't get to say goodbye

The day before the day

Was trying to get to work on time that's why I turned away

And missed the most important thing you ever tried to say

I've lived my life without regret until today

And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough.

And you who hoped that underneath

We all felt the same.

That was until the day before the day, the day before the day

The day before the day, oh the day before the day

The day before the day, oh the day before the day

Oh the day before the day, oh the day before the day.
