Before Dawn Breaks Down

Every day the wind blows, roaring from the north Sometimes I get shy and thinking back and forth But you won't go 'cause you won't show Oh no, the highway's gone Then you're forced way off course through the burning fields When you're forced well of course the burning dawns Comes the hammer to your bones Blinded with both eyes closed Echoes seem to bottle all that harshly hits home A smile can lift the burden by painting the darkness full of hope You stumble by design and bury truth inside Break down before dawn Tempted to resign and give in to Father Time Oh no, sunrises gone When you walk that line the cosmos realign The cosmos burning strong There goes your wind There goes your faults There goes your friend leaving on a big old plane Nothing sustains, nothing dissolves before the dawn breaks free from the reigns and the Plane's long gone Silence is the sound heard before the dawn The dawn breaks down, breaks down with a song A song lost then found Found inside, inside an old shoe box, packed beside a cross that's just as good as Tossed Tossed to the wind As flawed as the psalms A book can't be law Before the dawn breaks down in the fog born from the storm in the Andromeda sky Parallel eye waving goodbye, howling 'so long' 'So long' Every day the wind blows, roaring from the north Sometimes I get shy and thinking back and forth But you won't go 'cause you won't show Oh no, the highway's gone Then you're forced way off course through the burning fields When you're forced well of course the burning dawns
