Lyrics Locked Away - Jack Scott

Locked Away

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…
