Intro: 

Verse:
                                     
   Let's stay awake and listen to the dark.
                                         
   Before the birds, before they all wake up.
                                          
It's the ending of a play and soon begins another.
                                 
Hear the leaves applaud the wind.


Chorus - no words, just "Ooooooooh"
    x 2


Verse:
                                                
See the sun come rising and white-wings start to fly.
                                   
Like strings of pearls in the firey sky.
                                                      
I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now,
                                
As the leaves applaud our stay.


Chorus
    x 2


Bridge - instrumental



Verse: 
                                       
Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly.
                                          
Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide.
                                             
And the curtains draw again and bow - another day ends.
                          
The leaves applaud the wind.

Chorus
    - repeat to fade
