Oh, the song I love the best's the one my father taught to me
The kindness of a stranger is dust from an unseen wing
But an old friend at my table is by far the finest thing
This tired mile could give to me

Oh, the colors of the man I love are deepest blue and green
And it isn't very often that I say just what I mean
'Cause the feeling seems to scatter and these words fall in between
For what I miss I'll just tell you this

It's something to me, it's something to me
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me

Gentle is the road within me and it's gently I depart
'Cause these well-worn threads of daylight will sometimes come apart
Giving way to all the shadows where no one can hear your heart
So down in the dark, if that's where you are

It's something to me, it's something to me
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me

Well, the tender hands of morning giving up a new sunrise
And we all get up together in our ordinary lives
Going one step for another, giving up has crossed my mind
I'll take a long day, come 'round the right way

It's something to me, it's something to me
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me
You take tomorrow so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me
