23 Days Lyrics

John & Mary & The Valkyries 23 Days

In the morning where you left me lying
The moon was hanging and the sun was rising
Wouldn't tell you what I meant to say
I was counting only twenty-three days

A single word, a sign of life could save me
How could I like the way that you portrayed me?
Our life was sacred when you took me down
I watch my heavy heart in passion drown,

So tell me
Can you take me where I stand?
Will you argue that you're lonely?
Will the longing go away?

If beauty shines I think I'll hang on for it
I let a sigh, a silent reminder
I could wish I'd never been forgotten
Like the labels that you rise above

And now the sorrow 'cause I sink inside
And the love, a story unfolded
I could wish I'd never been forgotten
Like the waters that you rise above,

So tell me
Have you wondered where I stay?
Will you tell me that you're lonely?
Have you driven me away?

And now the sorrow 'cause I sink inside
I tell a lie, a touch betrays me
I could wish I'd never been forgotten
I was counting only twenty-three days

So tell me
Can you take me where I stand?
Will you argue that you're lonely?
Will you know me, all a lie?
