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 the 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, of 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



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

Through the winter branches,

Drop jaw red, Maxfield parrish blue

Then a windy night with the stars so bright

The trees just bow and sway

I been close to blue and missing you

All the live long day
