Kurt Nilsen - Day Off


Verse 1

I see the morning sun from my window

Not a cloud for a mile or two

Wearing out my slippers when I walk

But that's what I'm supposed to do

What is the purpose, what am I doing here

When I ought to be at work

I'm going round and round in circles all day

Because I'm thinking about where it hurts


Chorus

Look ahead, is this what I want to do

for the rest of my life

Well that's not right

Look ahead, does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try


Verse 2

I'm taking a sick leave I got to make the call,

Just let him know that this is too hard

I can't figure out what I'm gonna say

Because telling my lies will end up bad anyway

A little scared as I dial the phone

Saying that the fever has got to my bone

I'm sweating like a pig when you return my call

Now get well soon and take the day off


Chorus
