[Verse 1]
The day is done. What did it bring?
I do not know, it flew like sparrow.
It was a plain and common thing,
And yet — a path we cannot follow.
I walked back home through silent yards,
Where windows melted in the gleam.
And suddenly, past all guards:
A bygone moment — is a dream.
[Pre-Chorus]
And in the hush
It echoes, soft and clear,
How every single
Day just disappears.
[Chorus]
It won't return, it won't return,
The day that slipped beyond the rim.
It won't return, it won't return,
Though grief is closing in on him.
It won't return, it won't return,
This simple, humble dawn of light.
(It won't return)
And in this truth, the secret's bright.
[Verse 2]
Upon the sill, the night's remains,
A trace of mugs and warmth of sleeping.
Yesterday's laughs, another's dreams —
Today, the memory stops its keeping.
And though this day was plain and grey,
It held a thing we failed to mention:
A stranger's song, a shade astray,
A heart that found its own dimension.
[Pre-Chorus]
And in the hush
It echoes, soft and clear,
How every single
Day just disappears.
[Chorus]
It won't return, it won't return,
The day that slipped beyond the rim.
It won't return, it won't return,
Though grief is closing in on him.
It won't return, it won't return,
This simple, humble dawn of light.
(It won't return)
And in this truth, the secret's bright.
[Bridge]
Though it's not loud,
And has no name,
It holds no vast
Or burning flame.
But I will keep
Its warmth inside.
What was within?
The moment died.
[Final Chorus]
It won't return, it won't return,
The day that slipped beyond the rim.
It won't return, it won't return,
Though grief is closing in on him.
It won't return, it won't return,
This simple, humble dawn of light.
(It won't return)
And in this truth, the secret's bright
