Its six in the morning,
\nBedford\u2019s still sleeping,
\nThe new day\u2019s sun
\nOver the mountain just peeping;
\nThe air still fresh
\nFrom its night time chilling,
\nA sense of utter peace,
\nBoth eerie and thrilling.
\nA clear blue sky,
\nNo clouds detected,
\nNo sign of any breeze,
\nThe stillness perfected.
\nAnd as Jess and I walk
\nThe quiet, empty streets
\nI try to digest
\nAll of the new day’s treats.
\nThe best time of the day,
\nOf that there\u2019s no doubt,
\nAnd we have it to ourselves,
\nNo one else is about.
\nIt\u2019s like a gift we\u2019ve been given,
\nOur own special prize,
\nJess and I walking
\nJust after sunrise.<\/p>\n
