new day
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


I won't talk about it any more
I won't talk about it any more

I know you can bring me love
but I know your love's not enough
you spilled it and you left it on the floor

I won't care about you any more
never have to doubt you anymore

even as I stand behind you
all the sunlight I deprive you
in your weakness do you love me more?

if that's the sun I'm trading mine in
a simple lie
you promised to bring me the moon
it's all the same I'm waiting for my new day

I won't talk about it any more
I won't have to shout it any more

all the princes and their fathers
rush away like dirty waters
through the drainpipes you can hear them roar

and all at once the sun is shining
and my tears are pearls a-rolling away
like a jewel I turn and greet the new day

all at once the sun is shining
and my tears are pearls a-rolling away
like a jewel I turn and greet the new day

From tongue
and karmal apple LP/CD
