Smoke was rising from the ashes
When I woke up from the ground
Facing reconciliation
For this new friend that I’ve found

But we couldn’t think of anything to say
So we wished him luck and sent him on his way

And things couldn’t get any better now
‘Cause I know we’ll work it out someway, somehow
And things couldn’t get any clearer now
‘Cause I’ll soak up all the love that she’ll allow

Sunlight called me back from a daydream
A thousand miles away
Bleaching white the fading memory
Of a thousand rainy days

But we couldn’t think of anything to do
So we tried to get a message back to you

And things couldn’t get any better now
‘Cause I know we’ll work it out someway, somehow
And things couldn’t get any clearer now
‘Cause I’ll soak up all the love that she’ll allow

Well we ride for inspiration
And see the forest through the trees
Time to shun our obligations
And go anywhere we please

But we didn’t know or care what time it was
So we watched the sunshine flicker through the dust

And things couldn’t get any better now
‘Cause I know we’ll work it out someway, somehow
And things couldn’t get any clearer now
‘Cause I’ll soak up all the love that she’ll allow
