David Sylvian, 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 blackened 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
The first day
