  • Every day I spend my time
    Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
    Waitin' here to find the sign
    That I can understand
    Yes I am.

    In the days between the hours
    Ivory towers, bloody flowers
    Push their heads in to the air
    I don't care if I ever know
    There I go

    Don't push your love too far
    Your wounds won't leave a scar
    Right now is where you are
    In a broken dream
    Did someone bow their head ?
    Did someone break the bread ?
    Good people are in bed
    Before nine o'clock.

    On the pad before my eyes
    Paper cries, tellin' lies
    The promises you gave
    From the grave of a broken heart
    Hmm

    Every day I spend my time
    Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
    Waitin' here to find the sign
    That I can understand
    Yes I am. Oh.

    I sit here in my lonely room

    Don't push your love too far
    You know your wounds won't even leave a scar
    Right now is where you are
    In a broken dream
    And don't you forget what I say

  • Chris from PooleGuitarist is David Gilmour
  • John from Rhodes, GreeceCould have sworn I heard Stewart say in an interview once that he received a bright red leather jacket for recording the vocal for this song. Anyone else remember that?
  • Old Hippy Git from Crete, GreeceI thought I heard Stewart say in an interview once that it was a brightly coloured leather jacket that he was paid with for recording this song. Anyone else remember that?
  • Robert from LondonCan anyone tell me the name of the guitarist who plays the instrumental section? Not just the band member. I seem to remember a rumour of it being Jeff Beck, true or not. And yes one of the finest records ever recorded. Masterful voice of a young Rod.
  • Elie from London, -this song is unbelievable the music along with rods vocals really set a special mood undescribed in a ny other song befor it or after
