I light a candle in the morning

To signify that your still on my mind

Darkness arrived without a warning

It brought me down

But I know the world just keeps on turning

I wish that I could turn you on

Like a switch in my kitchen

Right before dawn

88 days seems so long

I believe in you and me

But it's so hard to trust

Something you just can't see, still I've got

88 days 'til the sun

And while you're gone

I've got so much work inside my heart to be done, I've got

88 days 'til the sun

I`ve got to get my spirit ready

For when the springtime comes

88 days 'til the sun

Zip up my thickest jacket

I miss the green and the light you gave to me

Prepare to get my feet wet

Halogen's on bright when 2 pm is like 2 in the night, it ain't right

So what's the message in this song

That the pain doesn't mean that you can't carry on

Still 88 days seem so long

A meditation, a revelation

But it's so hard to trust

Something you just can't see, still I've got

88 days 'til the sun

And while you're gone

I've got so much work inside my heart to be done, I've got

88 days 'til the sun

I`ve got to get my spirit ready

For when the springtime comes

88 days 'til the sun

88 days 'til the sun comes around

(You got work, you got work, you got work to be done)

88 days 'til the sun comes around

(You got work, you got work, you got work to be done)

A meditation, a revelation

But it's so hard to trust

Something you just can't see, I've got

I've got 88 days, 88 days,

(You got work, you got work, you got work to be done)

I've got work, I've got work, I've got work to be done

(88 days 'til the sun)

88 days

Got to get my spirit ready for the springtime

Still I've got

(88 days 'til the sun)

[scat] springtime

(You got work, you got work, you got work to be done)

88 days 'til the springtime ...
