Red Letter Day Lyrics

Red Letter Day

(Tennant/Lowe)
------------------

Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits 
of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
if there`s no one here to share 

Flowers in the garden
blue wine
the "Waiting for Godot"
and so much modern time?
All I want 
is what you want
I`m always waiting 
for a red letter day

The years perfecting a stance 
of measured cool 
fade into insignificance 
The moment one starts to understand 
What on earth 
does it profit a man?

All I want 
is what you want
I`m always waiting 
for a red letter day

For something special 
somehow new 
someone saying `I love you`
Baby, I`m waiting 
for that red letter day

You can sneer 
or disappear behind a veneer 
of self-control
But for all of those who don`t fit in 
who follow their instincts 
and are told they sin
this is a prayer for 
a different way

All I want 
is what you want
I`m always waiting 
for a red letter day

Like Christmas morning
when you`re a kid
Admit you love me 
and you always did
Baby I`m hoping 
for that red letter day
Today
