Breaking of the Day
Fully produced
version. Original
acoustic-only recording
Em G Cmaj7
It gets lonely after dark
Em G Cmaj7
When everyone has gone away
Asus2 G C
And all the fireflies outside have lost their spark
Em G Cmaj7
I sit here waiting for the day
Em G Cmaj7
When no deep shadows form
Asus2 G C
and nothing lurking in the darkness can betray
Bm Cmaj7
Where there's no sound of distant storms
Bm Cmaj7
and everything is safe and warm
Bm Asus2 E
and there's a rainbow child just waiting to be born
Cmaj7 Bm
But if you see any sign of the sunrise
C#m Asus2
Call me and I'll be sworn
E B Asus2
to press on towards the breaking of the day
I don't know how it got so weird
We got fire from the sky
Got madmen running 'round with kalashnikovs and beards
and I'm still to young to die
But this valley is my home
and I've got a backup plan in case it's blown away
I've had to reap the seeds I've sown
and all my money has been blown
Forward's the only direction I've ever known.
and if I'm not around before sunrise
don't look for me, cause I'll be gone
and reborn in the breaking of the day
