Dawn...like an angel
Lights on the step
Muting the morning she heralds

Dew on the grass
Like the tears the night wept
Gone long before

The day wears old.

Times stills the singing

A child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways

The child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam.


Pressed in the pages
Of some aging text
Lies an old lily, crumbling

Marking a moment
Of childish respects
Long since betrayed and forgotten.


Times stills the singing



A child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear

Gone are the pathways
The child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam.


Dawn...like an angel
Lights on the step

Muting the morning she heralds
Dew on the grass
Like the tears the night wept

Gone long before
The day wears old.


Times stills the singing
A child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear

Gone are the pathways
The child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam

Gone, like the sand
Gone, like the sand and the foam.
