lyrics

Each dawn I see you, bluer by the day
Up to my knees now, battered by the spray
And oh how I'm tempted to jump in right away
I would be scolded and dragged back out in shame

Days like these come once a year
Like hen's teeth or a guilded bear
Tell your mother that you mean to care
Because she holds the key that brought us here

On the horizon clear of city smoke
If I was a banker, I would surely choke
But air's an addiction that will not make me broke  
It costs not a penny to climb the mountain oak

Days like these come once a year
Like hen's teeth or a guilded bear
Tell your mother that you mean to care
Because she holds the key that brought us here

Where is the eagle, the petrel and the tern
Where is the free fall from which the young can learn
Timed reflection makes the spirit yearn
All the more reason to keep the fires burning
