In the light before the dawn Shadows snake in my peripheral Mesmerise me, bring it on Heart beats with fear here in the theatre of my soul You see, I hope it will go on and on And when the curtain call is done Morning always comes It was a fine time to be born Demob Happy Street And free milk for us all It was the right place, to be sure Those dreaming spires and, yeah, oh so pastoral But let's hope it's not just luck and strange A one-off peaceful golden age That's a dark thought in the dark Seek what you won't find That is a wasted life Or so the Ancients dropped by to tell me They drank me dry But my oh my so far… Quite the time to be a boy Six-string masters of an expanding universe It was a high time, to be sure Soaring and free from the bounds of the Earth But let's hope it's not just luck and strange A one-off peaceful golden age That's a dark thought in the dark Time for this mortal man to love the child that holds my hand And the woman who smiles when I embrace her These eyes stay dry, but my oh my guitar…
