Before Dawn

Lyrics written by Neil O'Brien.


Stumbling on, nearly 4 in the morning
No idea where I'm going, just an indistinct yearning
Just follow my feet down a one-way street
See where it takes me and who I might meet

Stumbling on, nearly 4 in the morning
Don't care where I'm going, tether snapped without warning
Don't trust myself to speak, so I'll wander the streets
Til the world wakes up and dawn swells in the east

Cos I've got a shrewd idea I was right all along
But I doubted my judgement, thought I might have been wrong
It gives me no comfort cos the chance has gone
And don't I just know things look grim in the dawn

Still, we live and learn from mistakes that we make
If I convince myself it's true, maybe this sickness will fade
Just gimme the regret, I can take one more
Now there's nothing to see, walk on

Wipe those tears away
