Everyone I’ve ever known
Lives far across a sea
My brave new world can be old and cold
But you struck a chord in me

Dad’s time, it’s six AM
He’s shaking off the sleep
Here, the sun’s going down
The rays are falling at your feet
The rays are falling at your feet

We passed the homes and the orange groves
To the top of that ancient hill
The marble graves that lay below
Are always being filled

Dad’s time, it’s six AM
He’s shaking off the sleep
Here, the sun’s going down
The rays are falling at your feet
The rays are falling at your feet

I don’t know what the answers are
I don’t know if you’ll stay
I don’t know when the top will blow
We have to live it come what may

Four feet pad on the cobbled stones
Two bodies swim in the sea
One more drink, then we’ll head into town
In this city I’ve found peace

Dad’s time, it’s six AM
He’s shaking off the sleep
Here, the sun’s going down
The rays are falling at your feet
The rays are falling at your feet
