Dawn Song

There’s wakin’ in the windows

There’s mornin’ in the bells

There’s dreamin’ in your eyelids

as sleep still holds you under her spell

There’s a callin’ in the sunrise

And memories lace the air

And there’s a movin’ in my highboots

and a lilac laced in the braid of your hair

I’d fallen with the lovelorn

Found loneliness holding me down

But my sadness quickly melted away

the first night you took me, held me all around

The nighttime quickly travelled

And dawnlight started to sing

As the sky began to open its eyelids

bringin’ the first rays of our first days pouring in

Now there’s a wakin’…

You opened with your body

I opened with my mind

And we passed and drank the love between us

as we passed and drank the time

Now the skies are clear and the winds blow free

And I gotta be movin’ on

But the feelings living within me

and I’ll see you again before long

Cause there’s a wakin…
