Dry your eyes take your song out It's a newborn afternoon And if you can't recall the singer can you still recall the tune? Dry your eyes 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 centre of the circle to the midst of the waiting crowd If it ever is forgotten sing it long and sing it loud And come dry your eyes And you taught us more about living than we ever cared to know And we came to learn a secret and we never let it go And it was more than being holy it was less than being free And if you can't recall the reason can you hear the people sing Right through the lightening and the thunder to the dark side of the moon Through 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 Come dry your eyes
