Out beyond the hills
Further than you can see
Lives a friend of mine
I think she's unhappy
She lives in her small town
No concrete in the streets
And the roads all turn to dust
If you try to leave
The minutes by her side
Are few and far between
And the stories that she tells
Sound like a horrid dream
Do you think if I grab her by the arm
And shake with all my might
Would she even flinch
Would she even try to fight
What if all you've said and done
Was taken tomorrow
What makes you think you've got
All this time to borrow
What if today was your last day
Would you do it differently
I Think back to the first time
I saw her on the beach
Smiling with the sand
Warm upon her feet
But standing before me
Is a woman I don't know
My friend she is long gone
I lost her years ago
What if all you've said and done
Was taken tomorrow
What makes you think you've got
All this time to borrow
What if today was your last day
Would you
Would you do it differently
Like a young flower
Upon the window sill
She's wilting in the heat
At the hands of someone else
What if all you've said and done
Was taken tomorrow
What makes you think you've got
All this time to borrow
What if today was your last day
What if today was your last day
What if today was your day
Would you
Would you
Would you do it differently
