Introduction

repeat

 Come along with me

 the day can breathe once more,

 to hear the sound of closing doors.

 The night has opened up its eyes to see day

 A thousand moving just as one

 A feeling that's so certain,

 that when this day is done,

 the paper lads will...

 Come with the dawn casting light on the play,

 Acting it out in our own special way

 Making our entrance and reading the lines,

 The story of people who live by the Tyne.

 Back home once again,

 The streets that seemed so long

 They're waking now. Your job is done.

 See people run to catch the wheels of their lives

 The city's reading every line

 But while it sleeps you're working

 in a world that's just your own,

 For paper lads

 Alone in the dawn going round every day,

 Seeing your home turn in different ways

 Carry the news, solving problems you find

 though young, who knows what goes on in your mind.
