Lyrics
NEW ENGLAND DAY BREAK
music and lyrics -Bob Buoncuore
Dawn broke over Marblehead today
Not an unusual New England day
Beyond the Beacon Hill snow drifts in space
Scarce the sidewalks and the winter grace
Along the North Shore rocks, the sea, the sky
The waves crashed Ipswich with their winter eyes
Gloucester caught us with some lobster surprise
While Cape Ann lead her rocky shores to cry
Take a broomstick ride and visit Salem, Mass.
Their salty air harbor blessed by that wicked witchcraft
I still love their Halloween for sale
Caldrons and black cats on every trail
Take a ride down to the city of Lynn (the city of sin)
They say you'll never come out the way you went in
I'm not really sure that’s a fact
I'll take my chances with your magic act
And disappear just like another year
Just hold on to your winter hat.
Move on down to the Revere sea wall
Watch the airplanes pierce the cloud covered halls
Empty seagulls screaming for more of Kelly’s fries
Cholestorol and all they still take too the skies.
Boston Harbor took on the mighty tides today
While Charles and Mystic washed the other side away
Tunnels and ocean leaks can’t fill the void
Rush hour, parking lot you still can't avoid.
Ocean sunrise and the horizon sky
Takes the hours to the noon time high
Cross over the meridian in the afternoon
Before you know it
It’s time for the evening moon.
Dusk set in the Berkshire Hills today
As New England fell to nightfall it seem so far away
The cycle that never ends
Cloud cover is sometimes like an old friend
