Dawn

​

The gray light is here

She’s warm and so near

But you’re alone with your fear

In the dawn

In the dawn

            

Slide back into sleep

No bridge and no leap

So dark in the deep

Just hang on 

Just hold on

 

Your race nearly run

A chair in the sun

Guitar there to strum

Not yet gone

Not quite gone

 

Chorus

 

The morning brings coffee

And the sun just might shine

The grind will distract you

And the evening brings wine

It smooths the sharp edges

So life seems just fine

Yeah, you’re blissfully blind

Till the dawn

Until dawn

 

 

 

It seems like so long

Since you’ve been young and strong

And it all feels so wrong

Like some song

Some sad song

 

The shadows creep slow

As you watch the creek flow

In a gibbous moon’s glow

And you know

Yeah, you know

 

Still she wakes up and smiles

Through all the years and the miles

Something there still beguiles

Love lives on

In the dawn

 

Chorus
