Locked Away - Jack Scott

When you woke up Yesterday,

your heart was just a wind.

but somethin’s in the air

and its getting really close

to ruining where you’ve been

and who am i to say if it’s day or night

i’ve got a huge pile of my own to get right

but i’m a good person i swear it’s true

i deserve much better than losing you

just keep my life today, locked away from tomorrow

baby

just keep my life today, locked away from tomorrow

i was walking down the hall,

without my head on straight for the morning call

Forgotten what i needed for the meaning that would mean i could probably have

it all.

and perfectly orchestrated,

you arrive through the door and i’m baited,

and in that moment i suddenly know

its gonna get worse before i get to go

just keep my life today, locked away from tomorrow

just keep my life today, locked away from tomorrow

do you have a smile, or a little luck i could borrow

just for today…
