Sting - Brand New Day lyrics

[Verse 1] How many of you people out there Been hurt in some kind of love affair And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again? How many lonely, sleepless nights How many lies, how many fights And why would you want to put yourself through all that again? "Love is pain," I hear you say Love has a cruel and bitter way Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain How could it be that what you need the most Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? You never want to feel so sad and lost again One day you could be looking Through an old book in rainy weather You see a picture of her smiling at you When you were still together You could be walking down the street And who should you chance to meet But that same old smile that you've been thinking of all day [Chorus 1] You can turn the clock to zero, honey I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back I wonder if she'll take me back I'm thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero, sister You'll never know how much I missed her Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, boss The river's wide, we'll swim across Started up a brand new day [Verse 2] It could happen to you - just like it happened to me There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it And sometimes no reflection is there Baby wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute [Chorus 2] You can turn the clock to zero, honey I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, Mac I begging her to take me back I'm thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero, boss The river's wide, we'll swim across Started up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, buddy Don't wanna be no fuddy-duddy Started up a brand new day [Bridge 1] I'm the rhythm in your tune I'm the sun and you're the moon I'm a bat and you're the cave You're the beach and I'm the wave I'm the plow and you're the land You're the glove and I'm the hand I'm the train and you're the station I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah [Bridge 2] I'm the present to your future You're the wound and I'm the suture You're the magnet to my pole I'm the devil in your soul You're the pupil, I'm the teacher You're the church and I'm the preacher You're the flower, I'm the rain You're the tunnel, I'm the train [Outro] Stand up all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl Stand up all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day [Bridge 3] You're the crop to my rotation You're the sum of my equation I'm the answer to your question If you follow my suggestion We can turn this ship around We'll go up instead of down You're the stair and I'm the handle You're the flame and I'm the candle Stand up all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl Stand up all you lovers in the world We're starting up a brand new day It's a brand new day It's a brand new day It's a brand new day
