Abandon your traditions Watch them disappear one by one And follow their direction Between the moon and the sun A new day has begun Abandon your possessions Watch them disappear one by one Follow their direction Between the bones and the trees and the moon and the sun A new day has begun I remember the day I heard it The Impossible Song and the other songs The tiny detail of every day And nothing more to give away And I trust my expectations 'Cause like good songs, they can always be sung To the tune of another song Abandon your ambitions
You're overwhelmed by what you haven't done And it doesn't last for ever Not even the moon and the sun A new day has begun Forget all those promises That only fools remember And you'll be dazzled by the dark Troubled by the stars Short on regret Burnt by the sun A new day has begun I woke up early this morning And the birds were singing their impossible songs They have that notion every day With plenty more than I can say And I trust their expectations And like good songs, they can always be sung To the tune of another song
