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 till the Sun And while you're gone I've got so much work inside my heart to be done, I've got 88 days till the Sun I've got to get my spirit ready For when the springtime comes 88 days till 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 till the Sun And while you're gone I've got so much work inside my heart to be done, I've got 88 days till the Sun I've got to get my spirit ready For when the springtime comes 88 days till the Sun 88 days till the Sun comes around (You got work, you got work, you got work to be done) 88 days till 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 till the Sun) 88 days scat Got to get my spirit ready for the springtime Still I've got (88 days till the Sun) Scat springtime (You got work, you got work, you got work to be done) 88 days till the springtime fade out
