New Dawn by The Lovely Eggs Lyrics

The fire that eats the mountain
The stone that turns to sand
The sand that shifts within you
The plough destroys the land
The eagle eats the blackbird
The blackbird eats the worm
The solitude of living
The screw that will not turn

New new dawn
X2

The silence of the magpie
The fortune of the bear
The stream that goes on flowing
When I am barely there
The consequence of vision
The meaningless of time
The tongue that holds the secret
To pass from yours to mine
New new dawn
X2

The freedom of the leper
The echo of the cave
The smoothness of the seashell
The violence of the wave
The house that's always empty
The sink that's always dry
The question always answered
Without you asking why

New new dawn
X2

I watch you while you're sleeping
I watch you while you turn
I see you watch the living
I see you try to learn
The fork inside your future
The knife through wrong and right
The prey that eats the hunter
The day that swallows night

New new dawn
X2
The mouse inside the hedgerow
The bird inside the tree
I see it all beginning
The dark inside of me
The mystery of dog dirt
Upon an old worn shoe
Creates a deeper meaning
Becomes a part of you

New new dawn
X2

Step through the country kitchen
Smear it out as you go
Embellish marble worktops
With excretory flow
X2
