deep blue dawn


deep blue dawn hasn't risen yet

it's cold I can see my breath

as the air breathes icy in my lungs

I'm awake to feed the hungry day

I ache for the gift I give away

of my time so that I can pay the man


I've come so far to be nowhere

and I fear I've nothing left to give

I'll try,  I'll do,  I'll die,  I'll dare

to find a life that makes me want to live


hit the street to pound my weary bones

I turn from the eyes without a home

hoping I will never end that way

fear I'll drown for all this swallowing

living on borrowed everything

yet I know the path will lead me on


I've come so far to get somewhere

and I fear I've nothing left to give

I'll try,  I'll do,   I'll die,  I'll dare

to find a life that makes me want to live


comes the night a tentative hello

she's one to let her feelings show

hides the sun to pierce the sky to bleed

yet she comes with mercy at her side

a place to let my soul abide

to die,  to sleep,  to dream


I know from here I'll get somewhere

and I trust I'll have enough to give

I'll try,  I'll do,  I'll die,  I'll dare

to find a life that makes me want to live

I hope the songs speak for themselves.
