Schwa Lyrics

Day By Day

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

The  time has come, I'm on my way
And I can't wait another day
Even though the sun is shining, I feel grey
I shoulda been gone long ago, but how's a mountain boy to know
There's more to life than I was ever told
So now I'm going to where the cold wind blows

And I'm heading out of Caroline, don't know where I'll land
Been working hard all my life, you can see it in my hands
I'll miss the Blue Ridge mountainside, but the mystery is gone.
She's taken all I have to give, now I must be movin' on.

I don't need constant company 
But lonely ain't no way to be.
Everyone I know is gone now, It's only me.
But no one can say I never tried, and I ain't lookin for no free ride.
All I know is time is on my side
I'll keep going til I hit my stride.

I'm headin’ away from Caroline, don't know where I'll land
Standing in the railway station, suitcase in my hand
I spent too many nights now, just makin' love to booze
She's taking all I have to give, I got nothing left lose.
Can't you hear it comin' now, rollin' down the track
I’ll hop the train to far away, I ain't never comin' back
Got a one way ticket northbound, ain't nothing in my way
I'll take my chances somewhere else, gonna take it day by day

The Northern Lights are callin' me.
I can't deny my destiny.
I never thought that I would ever leave, but there's so much more for me to see

I'm headin’ away from Caroline, don't know where I'll land
Standing in the railway station, suitcase in my hand
I spent too many nights now, just makin' love to booze
She's taking all I have to give, I got nothing left lose.
Can't you hear it comin' now, rollin' down the track
I’ll hop the train to far away, I ain't never comin' back
Got a one way ticket northbound, ain't nothing in my way
I'll take my chances somewhere else, gonna take it day by day
