Common sells you flowers
From a wooden roadside stand
She gives me sweet looks
But I want more than that
I know that she wants me
From the touch of her hand
But her spirit's imprisoned
And she can't understand
So hard to leave
This life of ease
What did today Find in who's been
Keep you growing For another way
Wait for stolen moments This game becomes unreal
Reliving wasted yesterdays Her wounds refuse to heal
Her dreams they are a fashion But her senses cannot feel
Stifling all emotion She retreats into herself
Let yourself believe
In what I have to give
Or did today Find you hoping
Keep you growing For a better way
So hard to leave
This life of ease
What did today Find you hoping Keep you growing For another way
For another way
Now Carmen gives me flowers And no longer tries to hide
Her life is full of hoping As she dances to my side
A smile forever on her lips As she has realized
How much to grow With each new day
Sleep with your mind
Though it be unkind
And day by day Finding wiser
Takes you higher From yesterday
Sleep with your mind Though it be unkind
And day by day Finding wiser
Takes you higher From yesterday
