Before The Dawn

Sitting in the dust, before the dawn
I heard the news, I know now that he's gone
So high, into the bright light
The prince has gone, saying bye

I saw a sign that lead me to his smile
As if he wanted to tell me "goodbye"
I see the light of those blue eyes
Here's a song, saying bye

For all the roads that he took
All the things that he dreamed
I bless and raise the red liquor
And I'll hold him in my memory

A lullaby to wait for the sunrise
The only time that I can look in his eyes
Thousand storms are dawning
The still cold thunder that the morning sings

And the wind begins to moan
And the leaves begin to come
For ever he will stand right here
And I'll hold him in my memory
