Red Letter Day

(tennant/lowe)

------------------



Go to work and take your calls

Hang the fruits

Of your labour on the walls

Such precision and care

What does it matter

If there's no one here to share



Flowers in the garden

Blue wine

The "waiting for godot"

And so much modern time?





All i want

Is what you want

I'm always waiting

For a red letter day



The years perfecting a stance

Of measured cool

Fade into insignificance

The moment one starts to understand

What on earth

Does it profit a man?



All i want

Is what you want

I'm always waiting

For a red letter day



For something special

Somehow new

Someone saying 'i love you'

Baby, i'm waiting

For that red letter day



You can sneer

Or disappear behind a veneer

Of self-control

But for all of those who don't fit in

Who follow their instincts

And are told they sin

This is a prayer for

A different way



All i want

Is what you want

I'm always waiting

For a red letter day



Like christmas morning

When you're a kid

Admit you love me

And you always did

Baby i'm hoping

For that red letter day

Today
