From the recording The Dance of Life
Lyrics
Another early morning, I just can't get out of bed
Sometimes I wish I drank coffee, but that stuff'll kill you dead
My guitar smells like cigarettes from the bar I played last night
And I'm trying to make some sense in the morning's bloodshot light
Yeah, Yeah...yeah yeah
Well I play in the evening and you work in the day
Every dream has a different path and every path has different ways
What is truth but what we know, what is ignorance but bliss
We're all caught up in the fairy tale, waitin' for the magic kiss
Yeah, yeah
Doors open, doors close
How the wheel will weave no‑one knows
The tide ebbs and the tide flows
In the dance of life, yeah yeah
In the dance of life
Dharma is a two edged sword, it can cut both ways
Is it worth the bold obsession, I think I dare not say
But it's been so long since I've been home
And I'm tired of these motels
Yeah every occupation has it's own special hell
Yeah yeah, ....yeah yeah
This whole mess was hardwired in , it's so tough to lose the load
That's why it took me all this time to find the open road
It's better late than never, at least that's what they say
But I'm tired of all these platitudes, so I'll be on my way
Yeah yeah
Another early morning, I just can't get out of bed
Sometimes I wish I drank coffee, but that stuff'll kill you dead
My guitar smells like cigarettes from the bar I played last night
And I'm trying to make some sense in the morning's bloodshot light
Yeah, Yeah
