New Day

At day's end
I hope to find a friend
When my days end
I'll need a friend
I need a friend
Who can tell me when I've been gone too long
Who can reset the clocks when the power comes back on
Who'll keep me grounded and say so when they let me down
Who will share the load

Oh, turn out the light
The darkness is kind
Make way for a new day
Please, let it begin
Sleep is your friend
Soon we'll greet the new day

At world's end
I hope to have a friend
When the world ends
I'll need a friend
I'm signaling
I need a friend
Who will help me laugh in the heavy times
Who will nod to the window when I'm lost in my mind
Who'll sing a song when the old ship is going down
Who will walk the road

Oh, turn out the light
The darkness is kind
Make way for a new day
Please, let it begin
Sleep is your friend
Soon we'll greet the new day
