In A Moment Lyrics - Working Man's Cafe - Ray Davies

Sunlight and the city is barely awake 

As all the early morning drifters make their way 

Headlights in the distance too bright for my eyes 

Still I love the dusk, the dawn, between times 

They are mine 

'Cos you can't tell if it's day or night 

Do we see the moon or the sunlight? 

Everything around is so transitional 

Momentary lapse of rational 

Walking past the writing on the wall 

Something apocalyptic 

Then a momentary lapse of faith 

Before I become more optimistic 

Like a momentary loss of sight 

Fleetingly it went so wrong from right 

In a second it can change from night to day 

Any second love can turn to hate 

Sunlight and the city is barely awake 

As all the seconds in our lifetime drift away 

So live every moment and hold me so tight 

A second changes day to night 

I had a momentary loss of sight 

Fleetingly it went so wrong from right 

In a second you would change your point of view 

In my hesitation I lost you 

It only takes a moment sometimes 

The difference between joy and pain 

In a second you can look away 

Turn around to find it's all changed 

Because you can't tell if it's day or night 

Do we see the moon or the sunlight? 

Everything around is so transitional 

Momentary loss of rational 

Like a momentary loss of sight 

Fleetingly it went from dark to light 

In a second it can change from night to day 

But in a moment hope will find the way
