dry your eyes

band, the

dry your eyes

take your song out

it's a newborn afternoon

and if you can't recall the singer

can you still recall the tune?

dry your eyes

play it slowly

just like you're marching off to war

sing it like you always wanted

like you sung it once before

and from the centre of the circle

to the big waiting crowd

if it ever is forgotten

sing it long and sing it loud

and come dry your eyes

and you taught us more about living

than we ever cared to know

and we came to learn a secret

and we never let it go

and it was more than being holy

it was less than being free

and if you can't recall the reason

can you hear the people see

right through the lightening and the thunder

to the dark side of the moon

through that distant falling angel

that descended much too soon

come dry your eyes

dry your eyes

take your song out

it's a newborn afternoon

and if you can't recall the singer

you can still recall the tune

come dry your eyes

come dry your eyes

dry your eyes
