Robert Fripp - The First Day lyrics

Bring out the stars And fade to silence Let the heart decide and watch it grow Ring out the bells Trading in blindness Fooled by kisses Touched by wings Shadow-fall And water fills the room Bathed in moon grey blue Baby came and spoke her name With promises to call again Swimming gold in a blackened sea She troubles me She troubles me Counting the ways To fall without landing Stumbling into flight Descent and slide Compressing sound From coal to diamond Words are knotted tight To chords that bind Shadow-fall And water fills the room Bathed in moon grey blue Baby came and spoke her name With promises to call again Swimming gold in a shipwrecked sea She troubles me She troubles me Received by the eye, believed by the word Be seen to make haste, when the soundings are heard Don't discourage me Whittling down the wood with the stone If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone Don't discourage me Bring out the stars On the first day On the first day On the first day
