All the Live Long Day - Cheryl Wheeler

The sun is shinin' makin' this room so bright

And the cats are sleepin' right up on the table

Breakin' all the rules in plain sight

There's a cloud colored moon floatin' in the blue

Not waitin' for the sun to go away

I just wish I could walk with you and talk with you

All the live long day

We never really had a winter

It never came and now it's gone

And the days grow longer like a late night road

Like the odds you'll come back home

But I don't mind wasting my time

Waitin' for the ache to go away

I don't mind telling you it's what I do

All the live long day

All the live long day

I wonder what I'll do

I don't see no way

Getting over you

The boys were in the back field

Sortin' out the who and when

It's like cat graffiti but they read it with their nose

And it's written from the other end

Though James takes it in with a different spin

He likes to read the sniff and spray

It's just them and me and my ennui

All the live long day

All the live long day

I wonder what I'll do

And I don't see no way

Of getting over you

I was watchin' the sunset and wishin' you were watchin' too

Through the winter branches

Drop jaw red Maxfield Parrish blue

And then a windy night with the stars so bright

The trees just bow and sway

I've been close to blue and missing you

All the live long day

I've been close to blue and missing you

All the live long day
