Lyrics
[Intro]
[Virtuoso 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
(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
(nothing lovely or whole)
[Slow 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
[Slow Musical Transition to Verse 2]
[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
(world as hard and gray as stone)
[Verse 2]
Oh 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
(world as hard and gray as stone)
[Extended Musical Transition to Refrain]
...a moon in the cloudy seas
A wisp of beauty all alone
'n this world as hard and gray as stone
( hard and gray as stone)
[Extended Musical Transition to Bridge]
[Bridge][Modulation]
But who could be bitter and want to die
When th' maiden moon wakes up in the sky
Oh who could be bitter and want to die
When th' maiden moon wakes up in the sky
(maiden moon wakes up in the sky)
[Extended Musical Transition to Refrain]

Oh day, I have wrested a gift from you
This day that dies in dusky blue
[Softly]
Oh day, I have wrested a gift from you
This day that dies in dusky blue
[Outro]

Oh I have wrested a gift from you
This day that dies in dusky blue

Yet I have wrested a gift from you

Oh I have wrested a gift from you
Day that dies in dusky blue
