Dawn Songtext
von Ike Dweck

Wings are getting tired, I′m on my final branch
The rest have crumbled under weight of loves that didn't last
And I ground down all my teeth from shivering at my own mess
If my thoughts were an empty room, you′d surely see your breath

'Cause this cold that I've been feeling can′t be quenched by quilts or flame
I need the comfort of another to end my lonesome ways
But it seems far-fetched that out there wait two eyes that can′t see me
And shame has spoken, if I'm chosen, she must be so naive

Oh, I had cuts on my feet
′Cause I was running all night
Stumbling blind through the streets
I didn't care if I died
And when I thought I was lost
I caught a sight of horizon
She broke through the fog
And pulled me on
I needed light, and she was dawn


Oh, I′m flattered that you want me, but there's something on my chest
I don′t have much to give you please don't steal what I have left
'Cause the rain is back, it′s patiently waiting for a sign
To cover every inch of me when your roof gets bored and tired
But she brought a finger toward her lips, then showed me where she′d bruised
Said, "If that cloud is coming, I'll sit under it with you"

Oh, I had cuts on my feet
′Cause I was running all night
Stumbling blind through the streets
I didn't care if I died
And when I thought I was lost
I caught a sight of horizon
She broke through the fog
And pulled me on
I needed light, and she was dawn

Oh, I was rockbottom, didn′t think I would leave
'Til your shoulder touched mine when you sat next to me
Yeah, I was dead-weight drunk, sippin′ on anger's wine
I've been sobered up since you entered my life


Oh, I had cuts on my feet
′Cause I was running all night
Stumbling blind through the streets
I didn′t care if I died
And when I thought I was lost
I caught a sight of her eyes when
She broke through the fog
And pulled me on
I needed light, and she was dawn
