Verse Noise before the dawn lures me up and about Padding on bare feet, quiet as a lover's doubt 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? Sew me a boat to get back to thee? Will you build me an honest bridge That I may cross when I come to it? Find me a pair of fool-proof wings Spin me a story that unwinds and sings Bridge oooooh uuuuuhuhooooh ohohooohuhooo Verse All of the trials of my good friends All of the ways to save and make amends Strike me at this hour so clear But a thieving sky, she steals me here Can you weave me a forgiving sea? Sew me a boat to get back to thee? Will you build me an honest bridge That I may cross when I come to it? Find me a pair of fool-proof wings Spin me a story that unwinds and sings Outro oooooh uuuuuhuhooooh ohohooohuhooo
