Cold Grey Dawn (A New Beginning)

The night is darkest before dawn

With helpless thoughts, rest alone

A cold grey dawn, a new beginning

When the past is forgotten again

Your sweet caress, you are my air

My loneliness and my despair

You wait for me where waters freeze

Infecting me with your disease

The only touch that I have felt

I played the hand that I was dealt

And while it may seem I'm at ease

It's growing much harder to breathe

And the morning light is still so cold

When the bottle's all that's left to hold

To face the day all swept away

And hope is flowing down the drain

Admit it, there's no sun

The only lights are man made

And maybe there'll be

A spotlight on my heart tonight

Your sweet caress, you are my air

My loneliness and my despair

You wait for me where waters freeze

Infecting me with your disease

The only touch that I have felt

I played the hand that I was dealt

And while it may seem I'm at ease

It's growing much harder to breathe

And the morning light is still so cold

When the bottle's all that's left to hold

To face the day all swept away

And hope is flowing down the drain
