Lyrics
FAWM *4 - 05/02/09
New Born Day
1.
Early hours and sleep won’t come
Tears in your head but your eyes are too tired
Too tired to let go of the day
2.
Outside your window a bird is singing
A whistle blows for the night shift’s ending
The bird picks up the note and flies away
While you think through the words you heard her say
Chorus:
Cry, let fly
Howl at the moon let the stars shine where they will
Feel it, learn to believe it
Hold on tight to the light of the new born day
Hold on tight to the light of the new born day
3.
Outside your window the ground is moving
The still of night is forever changing
While through the grass the flowers break the day
4.
Rainclouds weep but you’re far too shy
Embarrassed by this strange new feeling
The feeling that someone has found your soul
And broke in two the you, you thought was whole
Chorus:
Cry, let fly
Howl at the moon let the stars shine where they will
Feel it, learn to believe it
Hold on tight to the light of the new born day
Hold on tight to the light of the new born day
Bridge:
Someone somewhere hears you crying
And sends you dreams to fill the aching
With love enough to give you strength to stay
To wake and hold on tight to the new born day
Chorus:
Cry, let fly
Howl at the moon let the stars shine where they will
Feel it, learn to believe it
Hold on tight to the light of the new born day
Hold on tight to the light of the new born day
