Dawn of a New Day
Honey, here’s a little wine
We’ve passed the darkest time
When night fell in our hearts
All the while the ashtray’s overflowed
It’s grown a little cold
But we reached some peace at last
And though we spoke with painful bitter words
No one but the weeping angels heard
As Moses asked his Master long ago,
‘Can love be made a law
Written in the stone?’
‘For love tears through my spirit and my flesh
A wound forever fresh
Lord, it burns me to the bone’
And now that I watch you sleeping like a child
Who recalls the dark spell of the night?
And though our hearts are a thousand times undone
We pay our dues and still we travel on
Would you like to walk with me, for a little while
Into the light
Of a dawn of a new day
I know it’s been a weary night, but soon the sun will rise
And there’ll be light
Of the dawn of a new day
