Lyrics: The Innocence Mission. Do As The Living Do.

you can't think of worries
they might bury you
what good can they do?
they just make you blue
and time is on your side
but it goes by so fast

we all make mistakes
we let them go past
when in life
do as the living do
one day at a time
find a way to do as the living do

and you don't have to try
to fit in with the crowd
just hold your head high
don't ever look down
and you can find a place
that is right for you
I've been there too
I just needed you

so when in life
won't you do as the living do
one day at a time
black into blue
you should know
that someone cares for you
so take your own sweet time
and find a way to do as the living do

some things I have to understand
something impossible to plan
but everyday we try a little harder
we go a little farther
when the world is crazy
you could run away
wouldn't it be better to stay?

when in life do as the living do
one day at a time
black into blue
oh, you should know
that someone cares for you
so take your own sweet time, boy
and find a way to do as the living do
