The Dawning of the Day (Album Version)

歌詞

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