Lyrics
[Intro]
[Musical Transition to Verse 1]
[Verse 1]
Oh day, you have bruised and beaten me,
As rain beats down the bright, proud sea
Beaten my body, bruised my soul
Left me nothing lovely or whole
[Verse 1]
Oh day, you have bruised and beaten me,
As rain beats down the bright, proud sea
Beaten my body, bruised my soul
Left me nothing lovely or whole
(Left me nothing lovely or whole)
[Virtuoso Bass Solo]
[Musical Transition to Refrain]
[Refrain]
Yet I have wrested a gift from you
Day that dies in dusky blue
Oh I have wrested a gift from you
Day that dies in dusky blue
[Extended Musical Transition to Verse 2]
[Bridge][Modulation]
[Verse 2]
For suddenly over the factories
I saw a moon in the cloudy seas
A wisp of beauty all alone
'n a world as hard and gray as stone
[Verse 2]
For suddenly over the factories
I saw a moon in the cloudy seas
A wisp of beauty all alone
'n this world as hard and gray as stone
(this world as hard and gray as stone)
[Virtuoso Interlude]
[Musical Transition to Refrain]

Oh who could be bitter and want to die
When the girlish moon wakes up in the sky
Who could be bitter and want to die
When the girlish moon wakes up in the sky

... A wisp of beauty all alone
'n this world as hard and gray as stone
(this world as hard and gray as stone)

Oh day, I have wrested a gift from you

This day that dies in dusky blue

This day that dies in dusky blue
