Before Dawn Breaks Down

Every day the wind blows, roaring from the north
Sometimes I get shy and thinking back and forth
But you won't go 'cause you won't show
Oh no, the highway's gone
Then you're forced way off course through the burning fields
When you're forced well of course the burning dawns

Comes the hammer to your bones
Blinded with both eyes closed
Echoes seem to bottle all that harshly hits home
A smile can lift the burden by painting the darkness full of hope
You stumble by design and bury truth inside
Break down before dawn
Tempted to resign and give in to Father Time
Oh no, sunrises gone
When you walk that line the cosmos realign
The cosmos burning strong

There goes your wind
There goes your faults
There goes your friend leaving on a big old plane
Nothing sustains, nothing dissolves before the dawn breaks free from the reigns and the Plane's long gone
Silence is the sound heard before the dawn
The dawn breaks down, breaks down with a song
A song lost then found
Found inside, inside an old shoe box, packed beside a cross that's just as good as Tossed
Tossed to the wind
As flawed as the psalms
A book can't be law
Before the dawn breaks down in the fog born from the storm in the Andromeda sky
Parallel eye waving goodbye, howling 'so long'
'So long'

Every day the wind blows, roaring from the north
Sometimes I get shy and thinking back and forth
But you won't go 'cause you won't show
Oh no, the highway's gone
Then you're forced way off course through the burning fields
When you're forced well of course the burning dawns
