Richard Thompson
The First Sound
I'm sittin' and listenin'
For the first sound of the day
To take me, to dare me
To comfort, to scare me
New games to play
Oh, sunlight, my first light
Oh, whaddaya say?

Yeah, in darkness I have been waitin'
To change the beat of my drum
The common, the magic
The comic, the tragic
Oh, let it come
Oh, sunlight, my first light
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whaddaya say?

Excite me
Daylight, invite me to spin the wheel
Excite me
Daylight, invite me to have the feel
Of ups and downs and rounds and rounds
And rounds and rounds and rounds
Whoa

Oh-oh, let it come
Whaddaya say?

Excite me
Daylight, invite me to spin the wheel
Excite me
Daylight, invite me to have the feel
Of ups and downs and rounds and rounds
And rounds and rounds and rounds
Whoa

In darkness I have been waitin'
To change the beat of my drum
The common, the magic
The comic, the tragic
Oh, let it come
Oh, sunlight, my first light
Oh, whaddaya say?
Whaddaya say?
Whaddaya say?
Oh, whaddaya say?
Whaddaya say?
