See the morning light
It breaks the sky to the east
Hear the birds above
Announcing the light like rays of love
Hear the one who sings
As darkness clouds the western sky
The one who sounds as though
He's weeping for his long lost lover
He's alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds
Coming down
Over the rooftops
Into your dreams
That's just how that bird sings
All the way until
The heat of the nighttime still
At that hour
All of the dreams devour the senses
Mothers, keep your child
Far from home
They will roam
Run to trouble first
It is what they thirst for
To quench their sorrow
He's alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds
Coming down
Over the rooftops
Into your dreams
He will sing despite the approaching night
As though you know just what he means
I suppose that's just how that bird sings
See the morning light
Hear the break of the sky
See the reason why
Oh
We got to say
It's the only way
It's the time
