Dawn

I get so angry and helpless

There's no way back from this spiral

Something always has to give

And nothing is given for nothing

The drug is in my veins now

Your life is your own for the taking

My body must be slowing down now

But my heart is at the speed of flying

I'm walking out, I close the door

I'm down the steps for the last time

You can lose too much to ever want to start

Over again - over again

When I look back and think about it

All I see is her face staring into mine

I feel the child holding onto me

I'm smelling his sweet smell of innocence

The world has become too silent

This night it seems everlasting

The clocks ticking on like dripping water

But the hands are not moving

I'm walking out, I close the door

I'm down the steps for the last time

Then dawn breaks open in faded blue

And the sounds of the city waking

I'm walking out, I close the door

I'm down the steps for the last time

But the grass is soaked with fallen dew

And the sun is almost rising
