  • Every day I'll 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 into 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'll 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 you 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

  • Gripper from EnglandThe guitarist is Mick Liber
  • 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
