Bent Van Looy Dawn
I remember when we first met
Did I miss the gentle knocking on the door?
Paper sheets on a hospital bed
And a giant to-and-fro down a distant corridor
For the first time in the darkest grey
Did the sun almost lose out to the moon
In the great war for night and day
Let them be, they didn't know
You would be with us so soon
And I wonder how else
Life could make sense
I remember when we first met
It was there and then I climbed out of my head
A tiny shift in the atmosphere
Woke the beast in my belly with a roar
I swallowed hard, but I knew no fear
What's your name?
Is it you we have all been waiting for?
And I knew this instant
We would be friends
Did you hear the weeping in the other room?
It must've been a little girl who's sad she isn't you
And I remember when we first met
It was there and then I climbed out of my head
Suddenly, two became three
On that cold bright loveliest of dawns
I've got three words of wisdom girl:
Do it now, there's no time to lose
You are in this world
And I wonder how else
Life could make sense
I remember when we first met
It was there and then I climbed out of my head
