Another Red Light - David Hodges

another red light on a cold november day

i see the faces following close in a long headlight parade

to a resting place where tear-stained eyes say goodbye

i’ve been moving so fast i’ve forgotten where i’m going

i’m driving blind but beams of light have a beautiful way

of slowing you down sometimes

to catch your breath and take a second to smile when you’re not supposed to laugh

and cry when you’re supposed to hold it back

and live like the sun is burning out of the sky

'cause tomorrow’s too late so don’t waste a day of this life

the long black car moves slow through the intersection

i take a left and i point my life in the opposite direction

i take a breath 'cause i can’t help thinking

that the man in that lincoln is telling me to smile when you’re not supposed to laugh

and cry when you’re supposed to hold it back

and live like the sun is burning out of the sky

'cause tomorrow’s too late so don’t waste a day of this life

so many souls are set on leaving for eden

but i will cherish this time here

yeah yeah

smile when you’re not supposed to laugh

and cry when you’re supposed to hold it back

and live like the sun is burning out of the sky

'cause tomorrow’s too late there’s no time to wait

so don’t waste a day in this life
