The World Can Wait

From the Album Field of Dreams

Hello sky, remember me
I was as here yesterday
Lying here on this field of grass
Watching time pass away
I have to say you’re looking fine today
As clear as you could be
I can’t think of a single place
I would rather be

Chorus
The world can wait another day
I got things not to do
Like not doing this or not doing that
Or changing my view

Hello clouds, remember me
It’s been a while since I saw you last
I’ll spend this day just laying here
Watching you drifting past
I suppose there’s things that I should do
That seems to be the way
But there’ll be time when the rains comes down
And so I’ll wait till that day

Hello rain, it’s me again
I expected you so came prepared
Your gentle touch upon my face
Runs gently through my hair
Sun or rain, it’s all the same
When you’re watching time pass away
I played my part right from the start
So now I own this day

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

This song was born from a very lazy guitar intro that cried out for a song about doing nothing which is a subject I am not as familiar with as I would like to be. Take a few minutes out, close your eyes and listen. Ideally, you should be laying on the grass and looking up at the sky, but failing that, a comfy sofa and a glass of wine will do.
