The First Day Lyrics

The First Day lyrics

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 shipwrecked 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

The first day
