After Dark The Day Appears
by Peter Mark
he is day and she is night
They watch us from a wondrous height
Paying out the hours of time
Counting down the days of life
Sun's up another day
He sees them fight the same old way
Climbs his tower to the top
Sees something that makes him say
Time is short
Sheath your knife
Save your soul
Love your life
After dark the day appears
Been that way for many years
See-saw balance moon and tide
Winding round on natures gears
Faith in life
and love
and like, the way we live our lives
Dancing in a dark bar
Someone finds you, pulls you in
Time is short
Sheath your knife
Have some fun
Find a wife
Dark comes up another eve
She looks around but can't believe
That they cut down all the trees
Got Mother Nature on her knees
What you doing down there?
You're going to ruin it any day.
Hoe and plow hang on the wall
A pick up truck can do it all
Time is short
Sheath your knife
Save the earth
Keep it right
In your land of make believe
You hold the cards, you can succeed
But on this world beneath your feet
The clock of life's a steady beat
What you waiting for
Who you waiting for
Ropes come untied from the dock
You better hope the damn thing works
Time is short
Sheath your knife
Fix your boat
Save your life
After dark the day appears
Been that way for many years
See-saw balance moon and tide
Winding round on natures gears
Faith in life
and love
and like, the way we live our lives
Hoe and plow hang on the wall
a pick up truck can do it all
Time is short
Sheath your knife
Save your soul
Love your life
