Lyrics David Byrne

David Byrne

One Fine Day

Saw the wandrin' eye inside my heart

Shouts and battle cries from every part

I can see those tears, every one is true

When the door appears, I'll go right through

I stand in liquid light like everyone

I built my life with rhymes to carry on

And it gives me hope, to see you there

The things I used to know, that one fine

One fine day

One fine day

In a small dark room where I will wait

Face to face I find, I contemplate

Even though a man is made of clay

Everything can change that one fine

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day

Then before my eyes is standing still

I beheld it there, a city on a hill

I complete my tasks one by one

I remove my masks when I am done

Then a piece of mind fell over me

In these troubled times, I still can see

We can use the stars to guide the way

It is not that far, the one fine

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day
