Come along with me

The day can breathe once more

To hear the sound of closing doors

The night has opened up its eyes to see day

A thousand moving just as one

A feeling that's so certain

That when this day is done

The paper lads will -



Come with the dawn, casting light on the play

Acting it out in our own special way

Making our entrance and reading the lines

The story of people who live by the Tyne



Back home once again

The streets that seemed so long

They're waking now

The job is done

See people run to catch the wheels of their lives

The cities reading every line

But while it sleeps you're working

In a world that's just your own

For paper lads alone -



In the dawn going round every day

Seeing your home town in different ways

Carry the news, solving problems you find

Though young who knows what goes on in your mind
