Lyrics
Let's stay awake
And listen to the dark
Before the birds
Before they all wake up
It's the ending of a play
And soon begins another
Hear the leaves applaud the wind
Ooo-oo-oooo
Ooo-oo-oooo
See the sun come rising
And white wings start to fly
Like strings of pearls
In the fiery sky
I don't want to close my eyes
Don't want to leave the stage now
Yes, the leaves applaud our stay
Ooo-oo-oooo
Ooo-oo-oooo
Lend me your wings
And teach me how to fly
Show me when it rains
The place you go to hide
And the curtains draw again
And bow another day and
The leaves applaud the wind
Ooo-oo-oooo
Ooo-oo-oooo
Ooo-oo-oooo
Ooo-oo-oooo
Ooo-oo-oooo
