The Dawning Of The Day Lyrics

The Dawning Of The Day lyrics

This morning early I walked on while my darling was in a dream

Last sweet days of summer bloomed and dressed the trees in green

Then soaring high in the gleaming sky from far across the bay

Came a fearsome roar from a distant shore at the dawning of the day



Then I called my men to follow me knowing well that the view was dim

Though tired and worn, how they fought all morn' as time was closing in

And my heart was sad though sore with pride for brave lads all were they

As the angels fly, how they climbed so high on the dawning of the day



But the edge is moving nearer now inside the fading sun

And calling, calling out to them my brothers, one by one

But only dusty silence sounds the ashes float away

As the twilight ends and the night descends 'til the dawning of the day



Forgive me love, I'm going now so very far away

When darkness falls, only think me near and do not be afraid

And please don't grieve when I am gone abide in what remains

'Til the shadows end and we meet again on the dawning of the day

For when shadows end, we shall meet again on the dawning of the day
