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
