Lyrics The Cat Empire

The Cat Empire

Won't Be Afraid

Well I’ve been at the top of a cliff and seen ships go

sailing away

And I’ve watched the sea turn green and bright bluefish

swim in the shade

I’ve imagined skies in reverse and note stormy

mountains can light

And I was there by the shore on the night when the

stars all married the tide

When the time arrives

That we must form a line

Would you stand and take my side

Would you take my side

No I won’t be afraid

No I won’t be afraid

When the evening takes all of the color out of my day

And the morning is as far as it could ever be away

And now we turn into the world as if dreams were an

ocean to wade

Under all the kites they glide like a friendship set on

a wave

When the time arrives

That we must form a line

Would you stand and take my side

Would you take my side

No I won’t be afraid

No I won’t be afraid

When the evening takes all of the color out of my day

And the morning is as far as it could ever be away

And maybe I'm afraid of fools the children that are

saved

Maybe I'm not certain when they draw the final curtain

The woman in the water and the baby in the barn

And the morning is as far as it could ever be away

No I won’t be afraid

No I won’t be afraid

When the evening takes all of the color out of my day

And the morning is as far as it could ever be away

No I won’t be afraid

No I won’t be afraid

When the evening takes all of the color out of my day

And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
