Darkest At The Dawn
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Intro / Chorus 1:
It’s always darkest at the dawn
Verse 1
She says:
“I got tears for everything, and I worry hard for what the future brings.
The way we fight and cry, lie, mislead — senseless.
Still in the end we’ll be defenseless.
I want some time to stop and sit,
some time to stop and quit.”
…It’s always
Chorus 2:
Darkest at the dawn
But soon the shadow will be gone,
Light will save us in the end
And our love will live again.
It’s always darkest at the dawn
Verse 2
He says:
“I hear you — I’d be crushed too. It’s such a flurry.
Can’t fly your star with only wishes.
We all flounder with perfected foolishness.
It ain’t fair you get all the cold dishes.
Ain’t near the time to stop and quit —
some puzzle pieces never fit.”
…It’s always
Chorus 3:
Darkest at the dawn
Bridge:
The grass is always greener first time you see her
Guitar Lead:
Ain’t near the time to stop and quit,
Relax and rest up while you sit…
It’s always
Chorus 4:
Darkest at the dawn
But soon the shadow will be gone,
Light will save us in the end
And our love will live again.
It’s always darkest at the dawn
Outro:
It’s always darkest at the dawn
It’s always darkest at the dawn
It’s always darkest at the dawn
Bending sacred light
