Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro
---> Play Verse over:
   Stranger flowers yet, there will never come a day that will ever regret
   The hours, days, years and the minutes
   The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in it
   The drives on the coast to nowhere, nothing to say just sit and stare
   There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable
   Not talking small, just skip the bull
   Then I find myself in servility, didn't think that was my ability
   I go a yard and a mile to make you smile, but then I'm happy see
   I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
   Got a ways to go, the future's so cryptical and I'm glad
   Just another many things we've had
---> Play Fill
---> Play Chorus over:
   It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me, the first thing that you see
   My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
   The day starts carefully
   On the sidewalk with the dog, you're right last night I was a hog
   Come on I'm sorry
   It's 73 degrees, January easily glides
---> Play Intro
---> Play Verse over:
   Stranger flowers still, if you're gonna wanna go another day I will
   Like this, make it a deal, sealed with a kiss
   Sealed with the feel of impermanent bliss
   Today my love we shall let the world slide
   Turn off the ringer and just glide
   For we shall never be younger again than, what do you see
---> Play Fill
---> Play Chorus over:
   It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me, the first thing that you see
   My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
   The day starts carefully
   On the sidewalk with the dog, you're right last night I was a hog
   Come on I'm sorry
   Holiday on the radio, Billie knows that is the way to go
   The way to go
---> Play Ending over:
   A place where we both can spend our same time, not collecting interest
   Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves homebound
   I've got to do some homework
   The leave response we want to leave Wisconsin for a new life
   A new trailer with an antenna and a porch
   Of course we'll bring the dog
