Dry your eyes, take your song out
Well, it's a newborn afternoon
And if you can't recall the singer,
Can you can still recall the tune?
Dry your eyes and play it slowly,
Just like you're marching off to war
Sing it like you always wanted
Like you sung it once before
And from the center of the circle
To the midst of the waitin' crowd
You feel everything's forgotten
Sing it long and sing it loud
And come dry your eyes
And he taught us more about living
Than we ever cared to know
And we came to learn the secret
And we never let it go
And it was more than bein' holy,
Oh, it was less than being free
And if you can't recall the reason,
Can you hear the people sing?
Right through the lightning and the thunder,
To the dark side of the moon
To that distant falling angel
That descended much too soon
Come dry your eyes
Dry your eyes, take your song out
It's a newborn afternoon
And if you can't recall the singer,
You can still recall the tune
Come dry your eyes
Come dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
