Before The Dawn

Sitting in the dust, before the dawn

I heard the news, I know now that he's gone

So high, into the bright light

The prince has gone, saying bye

I saw a sign that lead me to his smile

As if he wanted to tell me "goodbye"

I see the light of those blue eyes

Here's a song, saying bye

For all the roads that he took

All the things that he dreamed

I bless and raise the red liquor

And I'll hold him in my memory

A lullaby to wait for the sunrise

The only time that I can look in his eyes

Thousand storms are dawning

The still cold thunder that the morning sings

And the wind begins to moan

And the leaves begin to come

For ever he will stand right here

And I'll hold him in my memory
