Lyrics
Dawn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Morning shone among the shadows,
Sunlight bled upon the silence,
From the blackest night
Must come the morning sky.
But yesterday was such a long time,
Yesterday may last forever,
From the barren land
Yesterday might always rise.
Sleep, will we ever sleep.
Oh to sleep in peace once again,
My love.
Tears are falling in the darkness,
Hearts are bleeding in the silence.
From the widest ocean
Who would miss the smallest tear.
Then might always be a bad time,
Then might last forever.
But these stormy clouds
We may see them all disappear.
Hope has she really gone,
Will she ever come back again,
My love.
Sleep, will we ever sleep.
Oh to sleep in peace once again,
My love.
Hope has she really gone,
Will she ever come back again,
My love.
