Not Tonight Not Today Lyrics - Bobby Long

I'm walking past the close of the parade 

and this rain is killed by falling snow 

I saw you lean into the corner listening 

to all of them talking about what they know 

I don't blame you for being there 

but you know you didn't have to believe it 

two coins on the ground gently gleaming 

two more faces for you to believe in, 

I'm so sorry for this night you say, 

I need to leave before I lose my mind 

things shouldn't of turned out this way 

at least not tonight, at least not today 

someone outside lit a fire to burn that soft white flesh away, 

I saw some old friends waving to me 

as the crowds fell and made their way 

I stood there looking out for you under some cold old melting tree 

I saw you in your mums old car wearing the same sad look as me 

as the patrons set the switch of the bright lights 

I drank the cold bottles you bought me 

and fell into the colors that showed me 

that the lights are colder now
