At First Light

(album: Shangri-La - 2022)

We crossed a boundary
Time and again
It's late, not early
On our terrain
When words have fallen
On stony ground
And barkers are calling
Still they astound

When all the lights are down
The morrow will come

At first light
Nova dawn
Reunite
On and on
At first light
Nova dawn
Reunite
On and on and on and on and on and on

It's waiting to happen
It all went west
The rhythm we're tapping
Was just second best
And followed the skin game
The snakes in the grass
Remained in our shame
Breaking the glass

When all the lights are down
The morrow will come

At first light
Nova dawn
Reunite
On and on
At first light – I see daylight
Nova dawn – the road ahead
Reunite – it's the last card
On and on and on and on and on and on

It will stick out a mile
All abundantly clear
Leaving behind the guile
The faintness and fear

Burning the bridges behind
We will rise
Freedom is there to find
Before your eyes

Larger than life
I have faith
It will all come alive
Deep down in my heart

I have faith
Deep down in my heart
