Out beyond the hills Further than you can see Lives a friend of mine I think she's unhappy She lives in her small town No concrete in the streets And the roads all turn to dust If you try to leave The minutes by her side Are few and far between And the stories that she tells Sound like a horrid dream Do you think if I grab her by the arm And shake with all my might Would she even flinch Would she even try to fight What if all you've said and done Was taken tomorrow What makes you think you've got All this time to borrow What if today was your last day Would you do it differently I Think back to the first time I saw her on the beach Smiling with the sand Warm upon her feet But standing before me Is a woman I don't know My friend she is long gone I lost her years ago What if all you've said and done Was taken tomorrow What makes you think you've got All this time to borrow What if today was your last day Would you Would you do it differently Like a young flower Upon the window sill She's wilting in the heat At the hands of someone else What if all you've said and done Was taken tomorrow What makes you think you've got All this time to borrow What if today was your last day What if today was your last day What if today was your day Would you Would you Would you do it differently
