Don't Burn the Pig - Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO - September 2005
Oh, isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day?
It's like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away?
Just thinking out loud
I don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at my blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
And drinking it deeply
On this evening spent dancing
It's you and me
Oh, this love will open our eyes
From the dark side we can see the glow of something bright
There's much more than we could even know
Also don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day
Don't burn the day away
Is this not enough?
This blessed sip of life
Is it not enough?
Staring down at the ground
Then complain and pray "I need more from above"
Like greedy little pig
Stop, just watch your world trickle away
It's your problem now
We'll all be dead and gone in a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Only love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Also don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day away
Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Why think of life when you're gone?
Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need, the good light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There's bad times
But that's okay
Just look for love in it
And don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day away
Here are we
On this starry night, staring into space
And I must say
That I feel as small as dust lying down here
What point could there be troubling?
Head down, wondering what will become of me?
Why concern we cannot see
But there's no reason to abandon it
Our time is short time that's all right
Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night
I will take your hands from your eyes, my love
'Cause all good things must come to an end some time
But don't throw the day away
Don't throw the day away
Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Why think of life when you're gone
Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need all the good light of love of in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in here
There's are bad times
But that's okay
We Just look for love in here
Yeah-yeah
Just look for love in here
You got love for real
Baby, yeah-yeah
I'll look for love in here
Love right away
How we move our lives for another day?
It's like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away?
Just thinking out loud
I don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
