PLAY IT AS IT LAYS |
LyricsPLAY IT AS IT LAYSI don't reach for you, not like I used to In the morning, early on I'd wake up from some crazy dream I'd turn to try and tell how real it seemed But you were long gone I'm not dreaming much in the morning these days I always seem to sleep right through There comes a time you have to Play it as it lays And I no longer reach for you, you have to Play it as it lays And I no longer reach for you, anymore I don't look for you, not like I used to In the afternoons, all alone I'd pass the places where we'd been I'd scan the faces, but would not go in Cause, you were long gone I'm not walking much afternoons these days Just have other things to do There comes a time you have to Play it as it lays And I no longer look for you, you have to Play it as it lays And I no longer look for you, anymore You are the only one, whoever Made me believe in what they call, forever And now I'm amazed how soon always can fade Turning into almost never (lock the door) I said never (hide the key), I said never... I don't long for you, not like I used to No nostalgia, after dark In real life love never stays Toss the dice and Play it as it lays And I no longer long for you, you have to Play it as it lays And I no longer long for you, anymore |
