Opening Day Songtext
von Gene Clark

Struck by the sight of waking dreams
At hand our times before our eyes
Called out to look beyond what seems
To hear the woes and angel cries
In the distance the sun rose
Near we heard a clock chime
And the breeze murmured not yet
For there still is just a very little time


Our faces drenched by pouring rain
We laughed as closely we had clung
Our senses keen from lack of pain
Our souls the strings of songs we sung

Now the shadings around us
Judge yet not by our sight
In the light of our questing
The truth came through more clearly into sight

Around the eyes of disbelief
Intoxicated by their doubt
Moreover offered no relief
Afraid to look for finding out


Yet some danced and some sang songs
And some lived for today
And around us the windows of wonder
Were unshuttered on our way
