The Dawning Of The Day Lyrics - Singles - Mary Fahl

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

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 dusty 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
