It was only early days then You were held tight Moving back and forth in the cradle at night Cain and Abel's song Singin out your lullaby And you'll be off and finding mystical ways You've shown me your nights better spent than my days And I've never disagreed with letters from a higher place You've been on the run I'll be right here Waiting on the floor for the modern new year Saw you on the stair Smiling for the very first time Came around october dropping your leaves Leavin by november rollin up sleeves Shared the center stage once I'm afraid to change once more Cause it's gotta be the next year Never be today Like saving someone's life but only going halfway Coloured in the lines Never thought to draw my own You've been on the run I'll be right here Waiting on the floor for the modern new year Saw you on the stair Smiling for the very first time You've been on the run I'll be right here Waiting on the floor for the modern new year Saw you on the stair Smiling for the very first time
