The Middle of Your Day (Alt take 1)
Over the hill, you see
The middle of your day
And the Sun says, "It's time
For you to go your way"
Go and tell your momma
That you now know what to do
Her love will come in handy
She's always seen you through
But there's no one here to guide you
You got to make it by yourself
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
Where were you all morning?
Dodging life inside your heart
Never daring face the dangers
Then attack right from the start
Go and tell your daddy
He was right in what he said
That the laws of independence
Don't apply until you're dead
And you'd like him here to push you
'Cause you feel a need for help
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
How long must we live in fill
Worry 'bout tomorrow
How long must we sit right here
Nothing but sorrow?
Over the hill, you see
The middle of your day
And the Sun says, "It's time
For you to find your way"
The middle of your day
And the Sun says, "It's time
For you to go your way"
Go and tell your momma
That you now know what to do
Her love will come in handy
She's always seen you through
But there's no one here to guide you
You got to make it by yourself
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
Where were you all morning?
Dodging life inside your heart
Never daring face the dangers
Then attack right from the start
Go and tell your daddy
He was right in what he said
That the laws of independence
Don't apply until you're dead
And you'd like him here to push you
'Cause you feel a need for help
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
How long must we live in fill
Worry 'bout tomorrow
How long must we sit right here
Nothing but sorrow?
Over the hill, you see
The middle of your day
And the Sun says, "It's time
For you to find your way"
