Lyrics:
Rising like lightspill from this sleeping town Like the light in a lover's eyes Rising from the hearts of the sleepers all around All those dreamers trying to light the sky Burning -- all night long Burning -- at the gates of dawn Singing -- near and far Singing -- to raise the morning star Rising like lightning in the pregnant air It's electric -- I can feel it's might I can feel it crackling in my nails and hair -- Makes me feel like I'm dancing on feet of light Burning -- all night long Burning -- at the gates of dawn Singing -- near and far Singing -- to raise the morning star Singing for the yellow and the brown and the black For the red and the white people, too Dovetailing strong points with the things we lack Singing for the people like me and you Burning -- all night long Burning -- at the gates of dawn Singing -- near and far Singing -- to raise the morning star Toronto and Sydney, Australia September 1983
