Hugh Cornwell - One Day At A Time Lyrics

Hear people complaining

They say they got dealt

The roughest deal

They cry when it's raining

No bread for the latest meal

But if there's no heaven

You can be sure there's no hell

And if there's no devil

There won't be no god to hear you yell

See people get holy

They're turning some plain water to wine

They're living life slowly

They can look up and see

The day turn fine

But ask them the question

And no answer is there

Whether you're eastern or western

There's only one pace that we can share



One day at a time



See people get sickly

The shock passes down from bad to worse

The backs up and prickly

Roll in a ball and pretend

You got no purse

But if this continues where does it all end?

I'm in the retinue

Till i see broken wishes mend



One day at a time



So when you get lonely

Be good to yourself and bless the day

Know you are the only

One who can deliver what i say

Try fighting the fever

Try popping the pill

Become a believer

Try separating life from still



One day at a time
