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.
