Tokyo Dawn Line

Blue comes up behind the towers,

Soft as breath on window glass.

All the night-shift flower vendors

Sweep the sidewalk as I pass.

I can feel the hour changing,

Like a key inside a door.

Everything that felt so endless

Finds a color on the floor.

Hold on, hold on,

The dark is not defeated.

It is singing one more song Before the morning needs it.

Tokyo dawn line, running through my veins.

Tokyo

dawn line, shining after rain.

We were made of midnight,

We were tuned to blue.

Now the sun is on the skyline And the song is breaking

through. Taxis yawn beside the curbside,

Coffee steam begins to rise.

Every sign that burned above me

Lets the daylight take its eyes.

I remember what you told me

When the city felt too wide: There is always one more morning

On the other side.

Hold on, hold on,

The dark is not defeated.

It is singing one more song

Before the morning needs it.

Let the rooftops catch the gold,

Let the old ache turn around.

Every heartbeat finds a station,

Every lost thing finds a sound.

Tokyo dawn line, take me into day.

Tokyo

dawn line, don't let the music fade.

We were made of midnight,

We were tuned to blue.

Now the sun is on the skyline And the song is breaking

through.
