A New Life

Words and music by Joanna Katzen

When she sings,
Angels fly from her heart,
Sadness from the depths of her soul
Echoes off
The caves
Of unfulfilled love,
Forgotten dreams,
Impossible wants ...

When he dreams,
Those angels bring her to him:
Whispering, he calls her in-
To his life:
They are one,
And he sews up the wounds
And discards the blues;
They don't need them no more,
And she tells him:

(Chorus)
Close your eyes,
Rest your head;
Rock me away in your arms.
Calm your soul,
Fill your heart:
The dawn will bring a new life.

He was one,
All a-lonely, she was one, lonely too:
Together their love made them three
With the heartbeat they heard,
And she holds back the tears
And they suffer the fears
Of thousands of years.

She arrives!
Skin of velvet, eyes of deep-water blue:
Gently they gather her in-
To their hearts
And they know
That in her they'll live on
Even long after they've finished singing their song:
And he tells her:

(Chorus)
Close your eyes,
Rest your head;
And I'll rock you away in my arms;
Calm your soul,
Fill your heart;
The dawn will bring a new life.

Close your eyes,
Rest your head;
And I'll rock you away in my arms;
Calm your soul,
Fill your heart:
The dawn has brought a new life.
