lyrics

Still Comes the Dawn

Time is not on your side
and still so much further to ride
to a place that for now you call home;
your temporary shelter from the unknown

(For what, for whom) driving blind through the gloom.
The night stretches on, yet still comes the dawn.

All the people you've know
in their own ways have grown
while you look in vain for your place,
some elusive comfort, some friendly face.

Old friends now gone (one backwards glance on),
now travel beyond...and still comes the dawn.

Days pass by in a rush,
you feel numb and strangely untouched.
Sometimes you want to run away
to some far off anonymous place.

Abandon your name and stake a new claim...
yet you carry on and still comes the dawn.
