Noise before the dawn lures me up and about
Am E Fm
Padding on bare feet, quiet as a lover's doubt
Am E Fm
All of the railings black against the light

Early cars cold, and tired eyes

Workaday, workaday

Carriages of the night cry by

Can you weave me a forgiving sea?
Am E Fm
Sew me a boat to get back to thee?
Am E Fm
Will you build me an honest bridge
Am E Fm
That I may cross when I come to it?
C E Fm
Find me a pair of fool-proof wings
C E Fm
Spin me a story that unwinds and sings
