The First Day

Bring out the stars

And fade to silence

Let the heart decide

And watch it grow

Ring out the bells

Trading in blindness

Fooled by kisses

Touched by wings

Shadow fall

And water fills the room

Bathed in moon grey blue

Baby came and spoke her name

With promises to call again

Swimming gold in a blackened sea

She troubles me, she troubles me

Counting the ways

To fall without landing

Stumbling into flight

Descent and slide

Compressing sound

From coal to diamond

Words are knotted tight

To chords that bind

Shadow fall

And water fills the room

Bathed in moon grey blue

Baby came and spoke her name

With promises to call again

Swimming gold in a blackened sea

She troubles me, she troubles me

Received by the eye, believed by the word

Be seen to make haste, when the soundings are heard

Don't discourage me

Whittling down the wood with the stone

If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone

Don't discourage me

Bring out the stars

On the first day

The first day
