        ..night          ..sunrise         ..day             ..naivety

Breathe in the night 
That crushed a tired sunrise 
Born again the day 
Brings young naivety

A laptop souvenir is worth its weight 
In silver a golden son 
You'll be home again 
And I'll be home again

         ..sleep          ..water           ..wake

Mend in my sleep 
I'm boxing under water 
Waddle on the wake 
            C#5    A 
Waking on a summer day 
  C#5    G#
A summer day

C#              Fm
After all these years 
                     F#         G#
Forget about all the troubled times 
C#              Fm
After all these years 
                     F#         G#
Forget about all the troubled times

And every father's pain 
Casts a shadow over a broken son 
You'll be whole again 
And I'll be whole again

       ..cent            ..tic             ..scared          ..pawn

Munificent, artless and ascetic 
Playing like a scared 
Enthusiastic pawn
