Old dawn, here we meet again
You've slayed the reeds, you've put the hills on display
Dawn, why d'you bring so much dismay?
You've murdered the night, by my side she shall lay
She'll whisper "dear traveller, don't go away"
Old dawn, here we meet again
You've come a long way, what stories hast thou to tell?
Mine are filled with grief and a steaming cell
Where my thoughts wander off, night birds by the church bell
It's been a long time that love hasn't crossed my dell
Old dawn, here we meet again
Mist on my mind, dew over the sleeping lake
For far too long I've stayed awake
My heart's been yelling that there's too much at stake
I can't keep it down, it's louder than the city's wake
Old dawn, between bliss and pain
I fell in love with a night chime yet again
But who would follow one who roams in vain?
An eternal seeker of what lies beyond the strain
A piece of the autumn wind sweeping the plain
Old dawn, here we meet again
