  • Daylight turns to moonlight, and I'm at my best
    Praising the way it all works and gazing upon the rest
    The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
    Oh the cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
    I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food
    Oh but I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods

    Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune
    But the day things turn sweet, for me won't be too soon
    The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
    Oh the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
    I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued
    Oh but we're caught up in the wilderness and an ever changing mood

    Teardrops turn to children, who've never had the time
    To commit the sins they pay for through, another's evil mind

    The love after the hate
    The love we leave too late
    The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
    I wish we'd wake up one day, and everyone feel moved
    Oh but we're caught up in the dailies and an ever changing mood

    Evil turns to statues, and masses form a line
    But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine
    The past is our knowledge, the present our mistake
    And the future we always leave too late
    I wish we'd come to our senses and see there is no truth, oh
    In those who promote the confusion for this ever changing mood, yeah Writer/s: PAUL JOHN WELLER
