begin again

night after night with the sound and the light, that comes from down below, the street sweepers clean st augustine, and tired they head for home, you can begin again, honey you can begin again, holding it all with her hat and her shawl, she sways in the hall above, combing the room for a piece of the moon, she braces against the wall, night after night with the sound and the light, she sings and whispers please, day after day he lies in the way, of his life that was meant to be, you can begin again, honey you can begin again, you can begin again, honey you can begin again, she breaks into his dreams, and finds his colors on the floor, says don't you disappear, stay awake my dear, you can begin again, honey you can begin again, you can begin again, honey you can begin again
