lyrics

it was a day that seemed like an open book I followed the dog outside
a canine conspiracy shared with a look as I threw the kitchen door wide

outside the world was waiting with open arms
we heard the siren song of life calling with no alarm

all the usual faces smiling at us there's Mrs Perkins she's waiting for the bus
the Wednesday 28 it's always running late but I hear it coming right now

outside the world was open to everyone
we heard the siren song of life calling with no alarm

we were startled by the violent sound she opened her mouth but no words could come out
a crash of metal and the flashing red lights
just another moment on the local news tonight

it was a day that had seemed like an open book but I had to go home and cry
because something so beautiful and precious as life was taken in the wink of an eye

outside the world is open to everyone
we heard the siren song of life calling with no alarm
