That Day Must Surely Come - David Gray

Lyrics by：David Gray

Produced by：David Gray/Ben De Vries

Need to show you this

What I've been hiding for so long

How I stole that bliss

Knowing full well that it was wrong

No didn't need no pencil and paper to do the sum

I knew that day must surely come

Lord how sweet it is

Sailing around that river bend

But ain't a whole lifetime

Yeah such a long time to pretend

She stands before us

Dark as a forest

Ripe as a plum

Knowing that day must surely come

I'll hold these words to my chest

To show my tongue cannot be bought

When all this world is made flesh

How is this mouth then to kiss a thought?

Lump in my throat

Hanging this note

Over the strum

Knowing that day must surely come

These tethered bones be light

With petals full and answering

Mirrored eyes be bright

Blood's merry fires all all all crackling

Let sorrow choke on wine and smoke vodka and rum

But know that day must surely come

I can still feel the shock

When as a child

For the first time

Saw the great void unlocked

And understood then

It would be mine

No trumpet blast

No champagne glass

No roll on the drum

No but that day must surely come

Some offer lavish praise

Some clothe themselves in brittle shell

Some choose to spend their days

Damning the whole thing all to hell

Go west go east

Take most take least

Feast on the crumb

But know that day must surely come

Yeah know that day must surely come
