Waiting on a Brand New Day - Marc Douglas Berardo
© 2020 Overhead Map Music/ASCAP

We were sitting on the roof on High Street,
looking to see what we could see
as the light gathered, the rain began to fall
as the city was sleeping we talked about meaning
and you told me about the places you’d been
and after being hurt for so long you were ready for life to begin
you were ready to let it in
Chorus
from up here on the roof all these lights looked like Paris
as we took shelter from the storm
I didn't want to say it, I was a little embarrassed
and I know speaking right then was bad form
but inside of the silence of that beautiful moment,
there's something I just had to say
there is nowhere else I would rather be than here with you tonight
waiting on a brand new day
Watching shooting stars out at Sandy Point
the sky was alive and so were we
we were connected to the deepest places on our island in the sea
out past the north light with our homeland in the distance
You studied the side of my face and we knew love had arrived again
And we were going to let it in
Chorus
from where we sat the moon looked like Paris
and the fire on the beach kept us warm
I didn't want to say it, I was a little embarrassed
and I know speaking right then was bad form
but inside of the silence of that beautiful moment,
there's something I just had to say
there is nowhere else I would rather be than here with you tonight
waiting on a brand new day
Bridge
We are walking each other home
and to get there the heart must surrender
and you have to let it in

Chorus
