[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You see, I hope it will go on an' on
And when the curtain call is done
Morning always comes

[Verse 2]
It was a fine time to be born
De-mob happy street and free milk for us all
It was the right place to be sure
Those dreaming spires and, yeah, oh so pastoral

[Chorus]
But let’s hope it's not just luck and strange
A one-off peaceful goldеn age
That's a dark thought in the dark

[Bridge]
Seek what you won’t find, that is a wasted lifе
Or so the Ancients dropped by to tell me
They drank me dry but my, oh my, so far
Ah-ha
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro: Instrumental]
