Begin Again

Night after night with the sound and the light
That comes from down below
The street sweepers clean St Augustine
And tired they head for home

You can begin again
Honey you can begin again

Holding it all with her hat and her shawl
She sways in the hall above
Combing the room for a piece of the moon
She braces against the wall

Night after night with the sound and the light
She sings and whispers please
Day after day he lies in the way
Of his life that was meant to be

You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again

She breaks into his dreams
And finds his colors on the floor
Says don't you disappear
Stay awake my dear

You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again
Honey you can begin again
