By Surprise

(álbum: Southall - 2023)

The morning comes and the evening slips away
Another link in an ever-growing chain
Yesterday's burden sits in your soul
Hot from the fires burning below
Let the flame die and dance on the coals
You're in your own way

It's right in front of you, it's in disguise
The more you look for it, the less you'll find
Between your fingertips, before your eyes
You've gotta learn to let it take you by surprise

So goes the story of a slow-to-make-up mind
Time steals the glory and rides on in the night
Too many questions, too little time
Heat of the moment passing you by
Heart of the matter, hard to define
Universe divine

It's right in front of you, it's in disguise
The more you look for it, the less you'll find
Between your fingertips, before your eyes
You've gotta learn to let it take you by surprise

Take it as it goes
Take it as it goes

It's right in front of you, it's in disguise
The more you look for it, the less you'll find
Between your fingertips, before your eyes
You've gotta learn to let it take you by surprise
By surprise
