Dawn Songtext
von Slapp Happy
Dawn Songtext
Don, he′s in a postcard of the dawn
Where the knives of light have left the dark night tattered and torn
The firmamental cars on the highways of the stars are doing ninety
For your love, love, love
He's in the corner on the right
A sole survivor of the night
And it′s you he's thinking of
You, and you only think of him
Dropping him a line 'cause he′s got no time to swim
They′re closing all the doors to his existential shores
They leave him naked and alone
And you can't help him now
He′s in the waters of the sound
Sinking like a stone
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Running from the snapping jaws
You know he ain't got time to pause
There′s one last thought 'tween him and you
Look out baby, he′ll be coming through
As soon as you admit that you're the cause
Done, with a swat of crooked preachers
You saw a film of his escape
But you hardly recognized his features
He sees a sudden light about the other side
No one was waiting when you arrived
He dare not hesitate, even so
You cross the lake
Who takes who for one last ride?
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Running from the snapping jaws
You know he ain't got time to pause
There′s one last thought ′tween him and you
Look out baby, he'll be coming through
As soon as you admit that you′re the cause
Done, he's in a postcard of the dawn
Where the knives of light have left the dark night tattered and torn
The firmamental cars on the highways of the stars are doing ninety
For your love, love, love
He′s in the corner on the right
A sole survivor of the night
And it's you he′s thinking of
Where the knives of light have left the dark night tattered and torn
The firmamental cars on the highways of the stars are doing ninety
For your love, love, love
He's in the corner on the right
A sole survivor of the night
And it′s you he's thinking of
You, and you only think of him
Dropping him a line 'cause he′s got no time to swim
They′re closing all the doors to his existential shores
They leave him naked and alone
And you can't help him now
He′s in the waters of the sound
Sinking like a stone
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Running from the snapping jaws
You know he ain't got time to pause
There′s one last thought 'tween him and you
Look out baby, he′ll be coming through
As soon as you admit that you're the cause
Done, with a swat of crooked preachers
You saw a film of his escape
But you hardly recognized his features
He sees a sudden light about the other side
No one was waiting when you arrived
He dare not hesitate, even so
You cross the lake
Who takes who for one last ride?
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Running from the snapping jaws
You know he ain't got time to pause
There′s one last thought ′tween him and you
Look out baby, he'll be coming through
As soon as you admit that you′re the cause
Done, he's in a postcard of the dawn
Where the knives of light have left the dark night tattered and torn
The firmamental cars on the highways of the stars are doing ninety
For your love, love, love
He′s in the corner on the right
A sole survivor of the night
And it's you he′s thinking of
