The Coming Dawn (thanatopsis) Lyrics

As the dew turns into frost 

There is something that I hope will 

Not be lost 

The leaves will change, they'll start 

To fall 

I still wonder if it mattered much at 

All 



When my world starts to fade 

I can only hope that every choice I 

Made 

Will endure, and carry on ... into the 

Coming dawn 



The breezes blow, soft clouds drift 

By 

Like some artists' canvas captured in 

My eye 

I am sure, I'm holding fast 

I am dying for a lifetime that will last 

But when my world, starts to fade 

I'm still hoping this foundation that I 

Laid 

Will endure, and carry on ... into the 

Coming dawn 

We're so close, yet never touch 

Can there be a love that changes me 

This much 

I can't see, eyes open wide 

Yet I'll never doubt you're standing 

By my side 

When my world, starts to fade 

I can only hope that every choice I 

Made 

Will endure, and carry on ... into the 

Coming dawn
