There is only so much juice
You can suck out of a fruit
And the colour changes fast
When an apple's cut in half
Every ladder ends somewhere
Better time it's steps with care
Don't be the one who waits to long
Turns around and finds it gone
Choose the life you want to live
Give the love you want to give
Take the moment when it comes
Let it lead you let it run
Feel the moisture in the air
Feel her fingers through your hair
Don't be shy when asking to
Be that way you were always meant to
You say that life is long
But you took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
Given shelter blessed by rain
To our common unknown aim
Through the north side of the town
To the south where we lay down
Under floodlights but no stars
Without people without cars
Where i ask you without sound
Will you answer without words
Do the move that's written down
When you close your eyes you find
You can prophesise the steps
You can visualise the maps
If you act upon it when
There's no trace of doubt within
When your heart is freshly stung
You cannot fail you cannot act wrong
You say that life is long
But you took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
You say that life is long
But you took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
