As the dawn breaks
Over roof slates
Hope hung on every washing line
As your heart aches
Over life's fate
I know we never had much time
For us to give
But we did
There's something in those deep blue eyes
As the light creeps over the houses
And the slates are darked by rain
In this morning's search for meaning
I hear a songbird's melody
I hear a songbird's melody
And she's singing just for me
You helping or what?
Yeah, coming
Not bad though is it?
What?
What?
Look, don't you ever just look at it?
Why, not going anywhere is it?
Alright then let's get to it, see what's gone wrong this time
Always summit
That neon's been a bastard since day one
Yeah shoulda left it as graffiti
Should've torn the whole place down when they had the chance
No, life in it yet
As the light creeps over the houses
And the slates are darked by rain
In this morning's search for meaning
I hear a songbird's melody
I hear a songbird's melody
And she's singing just for me
Oh she's singing just for me
A simple songbird's melody
Right, that'll hold it for now, c'mon
Three mornings, decades apart
Same old sun
That makes optimists suffer love sick
Restarts the hearts of old romantics
And roly polies irrepressibly down the hillside
Hitting the concrete with the full force of a first kiss
Three households decades apart
Sharing one roof, one sun, one hope, to root themselves
Becoming eighth hill in this man made monolith
To matter to someone, to make something of their days
As the dawn breaks and breaths are held
Because this moment won't come again
Savour the stillness
Then
