Ivan Campo The Hour Before Dawn
[Verse 1]
Seamlessly she's sleeping
Somewhere in the distance
Chiming tower silence
Amplify his stride
The priest reveres the pulpit
A taxi passes over
A broken cigarette
Left behind last night
[Chorus 1]
The moon hangs by a thread
The leaves are all but dead
I guess tonight you're on your own
[Verse 2]
Ripple and reflection
Clinging to the water
Somber sober moments
Curve the hands of time
A stranger softly spoken
A withered pointing finger
The bedless and bereaved
A long foreboding night
[Chorus 2]
A whisper from the trees
The neons start to bleed
On the loneliest night of my life
[Verse 3]
Weeping willow waiting
To cry upon a shoulder
The city heart is beating
Neath cobbles under foot
A slender shadow lingers
Silent under lamplight
Another silhouette
Behind venetian blind
[Chorus 3]
The hour before dawn
The darkest of them all
On the loneliest night of my life
[Outro]
As the new day begins
The old day remains for a few
Me and you
