Dawn Songtext
von Davy Lyons

Take a last cigarette
On the balcony before bed
The smoke winds ribbons of dreams
Round your drowsy head
A young man sleeps out on cardboard
Next the Roman graveyard
Square seems silent but for
The swallow′s dawn calling card


Showed my love how I drown in secret
She said "You're only human
And If tears be weakness
I′m weaker than all women and men"
She lay her head on my heartbeat,
I dreamed a little peace
Rain fell on the tracks
I felt the heat of her heartbeat

Been too long since
I saw my sister, mother, and father
Want to walk with them Kaat's Strand
Where herons wade in water
And throw a stone to the tide
For childhood gone but not lost
And breathe in deep
For the river's dark
Yet walked along

Run deep, O Slaney, run deep
Run deep, O Slaney, run deep
Run deep, River Slaney,
Run deep
