Stolen Moments - John Hiatt

I used to drink a lot in those days, you see

Yeah that’s the way the wind blows

These days the only bar I ever see

It’s got lettuce and tomatoes

I get pumped up in the back of my mind

Start thinking those days were the best of times

But I never look forward to looking back

I can see a little daylight coming through the crack

So don’t you know we’re living in stolen moments

Steal enough, it feels like we’re stopping time

These days are gold

We’re living in stolen moments

Just grab ahold

These days are yours and mine

Well some guy told that, you couldn’t dance

And you been carrying that forever

I’m the kinda fella needs a- a second chance

C’mon baby, let’s bugaloo together

I see you over there

Just clinging to the wall

Cause they told you you’re like ivy

You were bound to crawl

But your kept looking up and baby I know why

Cause you knew someday you gunna touch the sky

So don’t you know we’re living in stolen moments

Steal enough, it feels like we’re stopping time

These days are gold

We’re living in stolen moments

Just grab ahold

These days are yours and mine

I couldn’t dream this life I’m living

Somehow we just survive and every waste of time forgiven

Now I’m out in the backyard

Leaning on a tree

I have no way of knowing

Can’t lead to hard

That’s my philosophy

But man that tree is growing!

Baby, I’ll never grow up to be straight and tall

But you can lean on me

Baby I won’t fall

Maybe in a year I could learn to bend

But listen to that tree bird like a good friend

So don’t you know we’re living in stolen moments

Steal enough, it feels like we’re stopping time

These days are gold

We’re living in stolen moments

Just grab ahold

These days are yours and mine

So don’t you know we’re living in stolen moments

Steal enough, it feels like we’re stopping time

These days are gold

We’re living in stolen moments

Just grab ahold

These days are yours and mine
