I take the corner with the day still on me A half-finished sentence going round The piano finds a gap between my footsteps I follow where the next few notes come down My shoulders rise before I even notice I let them fall and feel the evening air A little space appears between the buildings I lift my eyes and find it waiting there Something starts to loosen Something starts to give I take a deeper breath And feel how much was held within Open up There's more of me than this day could hold Open up I feel it coming through With the wind across my face And the road beneath my feet Every part of me that had to wait Is catching up with me [Instrumental — guitar restates the piano motif] The river opens out beyond the houses The last of all that traffic falls away A guitar holds a note above the water I wish that it could hang there, just that way I used to fill each quiet little moment With something else I needed to get done Tonight I let the spaces stay wide open And leave a little room for what may come Something starts to loosen Something starts to give I take a deeper breath There's so much evening left in this Open up There's more of me than this day could hold Open up I feel it coming through With the wind across my face And the road beneath my feet Every part of me that had to wait Is catching up with me For a while I leave it all unfinished Let the questions settle where they are There's a turn ahead I've never taken And enough light left to take it now Open up There's more of me than this day could hold Open up I feel it coming through With the wind across my face And the road beneath my feet Every part of me that had to wait Is catching up with me I take the turn The view unfolds A little further Here I go
