Day Off - Kurt Nilsen

I see the morning sun from a window

Not a cloud from a mile or two

Wearing now my slippers when I walk

That’s what I’m supposed to do

What is the purpose

What am I doing here

When I ought to be out work

Go around and around in circles of legs

I’m thinking about what hurts

Look ahead

Is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life?

Well that’s not right

Look ahead

Does it mean I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try

I’m taking a sick leave

Forgot to make the call

Just let them know that this is too hard

I can’t figure out what I’m gonna say

Cause telling them a lie when I’m in bed anyway

I’m a little scared to ask her to dial the phone

Saying that the fever has got into my bone

I’m swinging like pain when you return my phone

Now it will soon take the day off

Look ahead

Is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life?

Well that’s not right

Look ahead

Does it mean I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try

(day off, day off…)

Keeping a straight face, trying to see real

Enjoy myself, here’s the deal

I’m never ever going back again

No no, no way at all

I’m never ever going back again

I gotta be honest with myself

Yeah, I gotta be honest with myself

Look ahead

Is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life?

Well that’s not right

Look ahead

Does it mean I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try
