Title track from the début EP, written and performed by Ralph Beeby.

"First light in the morning,
I will go down to the river,
And down by the water,
I will cast off all my sorrow
Far off in the distance,
Hear the engine, hear it roaring,
Dark heart of the city,
Is still beating, is still beating

For in this place,
No change of pace,
Will make a dent,
Will scratch the face,
Wake from your dreams,
Into what's real,
Join all the cogs,
Turning this wheel,
Fit yourself, don't try alone,
This is your home

First light through my window,
I stare downward, I stare downward,
Hordes of swarming people,
Still no warmth of human contact,
Hemmed in by the towers,
Like a prison, claustrophobic,
Feel like I could leave here,
Leave no traces, leave no memory.
So first light, come the morning,
I will set off down the railroad

For in this place..."
