2. Of the New Day (4:43)
Hold your fear in check my dear
It's got no place here
There's no need to fight
Just drift away on the new day
Find yourself a better way
To meet the future
It's all that you crave
A silhouette of the new day
Walk away from what you love
And all your people move into fog
But live again on the new day
Raise your head and fill your lungs
Breathe the autumn
Shame to be down
In this thrall of the new day
The hour of almost rain
When night becomes the day
Daily finds you tearing out
All the pages
That held all your thoughts
When you dreamed of the new day
It's not the world that shrinks from you
It's the old days
That line up behind
The monolith of the new day
The hour of almost rain
When night becomes the day
It's got no place here
There's no need to fight
Just drift away on the new day
Find yourself a better way
To meet the future
It's all that you crave
A silhouette of the new day
Walk away from what you love
And all your people move into fog
But live again on the new day
Raise your head and fill your lungs
Breathe the autumn
Shame to be down
In this thrall of the new day
The hour of almost rain
When night becomes the day
Daily finds you tearing out
All the pages
That held all your thoughts
When you dreamed of the new day
It's not the world that shrinks from you
It's the old days
That line up behind
The monolith of the new day
The hour of almost rain
When night becomes the day
