First Day in a New Town

He feels the sunrise as the day begins

But he can't see me waving back to him

But that's Ok cos yesterday is over and the futures where it's always been

 

There's no telling what he's gonna find

Now he's left the world we shared behind

There's an autumn breeze and evergreens and mountains sketch the line between the earth and the sky

 

Found a new track, got your groove back

Got a stash of second chances in your backpack

This is your place and you made it

Out of memories you can't remember now

It's the first day in a new town

 

There are half familiar corners here

He sees horizons beckon crystal clear

He can't recall the stuff before, the aches and pains and small details have disappeared

 

On your good foot, found a shortcut

To a world of open windows as the door shuts

This is your place and you made it

Out of memories you can't remember now

It's the first day in a new town

 

 

A cafe framed by street lamp light

From the cover of a book

A bench inspired by our old bench

 

And your safe there, in a place where

The days are all the same but you don't care

This is your place and you made it

Out of memories you can't remember now

May it always be

the first day in a new town
