Before The Dawn Tab

by Colin James


Come here darling, lay down by my side
                                            
The big stars falling 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 neighbour sings his favourite song
                     		
In the stardust of the night before the dawn

					
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
				    
Try to find a way to turn around again
					  
The trouble in your heart will soon be gone
		                        
This lonely blue is only true before the dawn


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