Leave It For Another Day

from Walking Into White by Sarah McQuaid

about

Gerry O’Beirne did a lovely job of producing my first three solo albums, and while we both felt that the time had come for me to work with a different producer, I was delighted when he kindly agreed to co-write a song with me for this album. We wrote it together via email over a period of six or eight weeks, batting MP3s and lyrics back and forth between England and Ireland. I hope Gerry is as happy with the result as I am.

lyrics

I can’t begin
To explain
Wouldn’t know what words to say
Leave it for another day

And there is no plan
That I can understand
Why do we go on this way
Leave it for another day

I see you in the morning
Still haunted by the night
I touch your face to tell you
It’s all right

Remember when we lay
In the woods all night
And stumbled home across the fields
Happy and bleary eyed 

The mist around our feet
Lay heavy on the ground
We floated through the cold grey air
Suspended on a cloud

You come to me in the morning
Still haunted by the night
I touch your face to tell you
It’s all right

If I had my way
We’d shut the world out
We’d close our eyes and think of things
That don’t hurt to think about

I’d sing to you in the morning
I’d hold you through the night
I’d touch your face to tell you
It’s all right
