The Edge Of Dawn

(album: Total Coverage, Vol. 6 - 2020)

Reach for my hand
I'll soar away
Into the dawn
I wish I could stay

Here in cherished halls
In peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays

Faint lights pass
Through colored glass
In this beloved place
Silver shines the world dines
A smile on each face

As joy surrounds comfort abounds
And I can feel I'm breaking free
And for a moment lost in time
I am finally me

Yet still I hide
Behind this mask that I have become

My blackened heart
Scorched by flames
A force I can't run from

As I live out each peaceful day
Deep in my soul
I know I can't stay

So I wish I could hide away
Hold tight to what I love
Keep cruel fate at bay

As the rain falls on your path
I chase your shadow
I don't feel a single drop
Or the ground below

Then you turn to me and I
Stop before I know
And the lie upon my lips
I let it go

Cross my heart
Making vows I know will be betrayed

A sad girl's pleas
Live only for
A breath and then they fade

Don't ever take back your kind hand
Lest precious love
Slip away like time's sand

Only we will know all that was lost
Scars that we can't erase
Show us life's true cost

The blue moonlight
Cuts across our sight
As pure and clear as a ringing bell
Reaching for us in the night

As the wind calms my thoughts
I have strung on this terrace I feel at peace
Carried away by the wind's song

Open the door and walk away
Never give in to the call of yesterday

Memories that made those days sublime
These ruined halls entomb stolen time

Reach for my hand I'll soar away
Into the dawn
I wish I could stay

Here in cherished halls
In peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays
