Intro

Verse

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark.

Before the birds, before they all wake up.

 It's the ending of a play and soon begins another.

 Hear the leaves applaud the wind.

Chorus

no words, just "Ooooooooh"

x 2

Verse

See the sun come rising and white-wings start to fly.

Like strings of pearls in the firey sky.

 I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now,

 As the leaves applaud our stay.

Chorus

x 2

Instrumental

Verse

Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly.

Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide.

 And the curtains draw again and bow - another day ends.

 The leaves applaud the wind.

Chorus

- repeat to fade
