Last Night Today (lyrics) Copyright © 2008 Colin Whyles

Last night I saw a boat come sliding in
Cutting silent waves from out the sea
Kicked a can along the quay
Didn’t mean a thing to me
Last night I saw a boat come sliding in

Last night had the blues push at my door
Never heard it sound so raw before
Put a log upon the fire
Turn the radio a little higher
Last night had the blues push at my door

Last night I dreamed I slept a dreamless sleep
Showered, water running down my cheek
Couldn’t see the tears
Wash the lines that mark the years
Last night I dreamed I slept a dreamless sleep

Today the sun shows signs of breaking through
Silver clouds make way for skies of blue
Dropped a bottle in the bin
Never going to drink again
Today the sun shows signs of breaking through
