Before The Dawn

(album: National Steel - 1997)

Come here darling and lay down by my side
The big star's falling and the moon will turn the tide
The whistle of the wind will lead us on
Here we are, not too far
Before the dawn

Pictures keep on falling from the walls
The ghosts are still careening through the halls
The drunken neighbor sings his favorite song
In the stardust of the night
Before the dawn

You never really know just who your friends are
Till you find out at last who they are not
You never recognize the things you really want
Till you remember all the dreams that you forgot

We've been running for so long against the grain
Trying to find a way to turn around again
Trouble in your heart will soon be gone
It's lonely blue, it's only true
Before the dawn

Come here darling lay down by my side
Well the big star's falling and the moon will turn the tide
The whistle of the wind will lead us on
Here we are, not too far
Before the dawn
Well here we are, not too far
Before the dawn
