a day late a dollar short(hanoi rocks)

Late at night as I lay down to sleep 

I think of all the secrets people keep 

like how I feel for you 

Do you feel it too 

or is it something we have to resume 



We're just two people watching time fly by 

In a world in it's obvious decline 

But we are young and strong 

We can carry on 

Find a little Paradise of our own 



'cos no one saves the day 

it's no one else's fault 

if you're a day late or dollar short 



Just think about how lovely life could be 

Excluding all the man-made misery 

If we're too far behind 

And really out of time 

Is there another world they plan to find? 



Too many dreams of youth 

That we never caught 

Just a day late or dollar short 



We're all just lonely people 

Only dyin' to fall in love 



Feelings that we thought 

Dreams we never caught 

Just a day late or dollar short 



All the loneliness, the blues 

Feelings so distraught 

When you're a day late or a dollar short 



Too many dreams of youth 

That we never caught 

Just a day late or a dollar short 



And no one saves the day 

It's no one else's fault 

When you're a day late or a dollar short
