Chorus of Dawn

Soon the light that is breaking across the water will fill the room
See the birds of the river who dance in the smile of a fading moon
Suddenly you're no longer bound to the darkness you found in your infancy
The Chorus of Dawn means your ties have been torn
In the Clear Light you'll see

you see her eyes are brighter than our eyes
early riser and it makes her wise
she’s an early riser and she sleeps in her clothes
whistles to the wind and it wipes her nose
ah she’s so dry
ah want to wait until you see her fly
when she springs you can see that her wings are red
on the ground (you look around) she’s like a stone being dead
when the darkness comes she goes to sleep
leave her there and crawl away to weep
she’s an early riser and she needs her rest
leave her til the dawn if you know what’s best
cool, she’s so dry
ah wait a million years to see her cry
when she sings it’s like a saw on something raw
when she talks it’s like cold sparks on the floor
early riser prophesies a perfect day
better bloody listen to what she say
early riser advertise a day is due
you don’t know what I know if I know you

OK so it gets dark early now and you find your shoulders are cold when you wake in the morning pull the blankets higher cos it’s not yet light outside
Last night you’re right the moon was bright but OK I say another day you see I’m lazy now and either way I really don’t mind
I really don’t mind
And I’ll roar you as gentle as any normal liar
Say a speech and try to reach the corners of the fire
Say it seven times while heaven times the goodness in you and reviews the evening news - to see who’s made the grade
But don’t forget I haven’t yet got round to letting you be who you are and being happy with the way we were made
The way - we were made
Just - trying to stay warm

Sunday Phone

phone call called across the city on sunday afternoon
came his voice along the line ‘you know I’d like to see you soon
I would come over today you know if I only could
but you know it’s such a long way to your side of the wood
so instead I think I’ll just stay on my familiar track
maybe one day lazy sunday you’ll get to call me back
there was so much I wanted to tell you about that’ll have to be left unsaid
cos I know that the moment I put the phone down, it’ll all fall right out of my head
