Dawn at Pearl
The dawn should be heaven I dreamt of it when i was bout seven Where town folks picked on the flowers hang open And the people sang harmonious like covens It was that new town miles away When songs said carried us astray In our home of dark and blue Who would try if not me and you I chased the sunset in the new town Wrote my songs, sang to the crowd Yet the night tugs my back and my sons with it the claps were thunders of raining bullet No one was there, only horror None of valor none of honor I turned my back, turned my back to the cold night, cold night For whoever's life was over mine It's alright, alright I chipped my nails on the cold hard pavement Trying to find the dawn or the heaven I turned my back, turned my back to the cold night, cold night The dawn broke through when i closed my eyes Trying to save for whoever's life turned my back, turned my back It's alright, alright
