It's Dawn

It's late
Is it evening? I've forgotten.
It's late
Have I eaten? I don't know.
Lonely, 'cause it's easy.
Sad, and as I yawn, I'm restless and uneasy when you're gone.
It's dawn.

Shadows have have been climbing up my window
I haven't seen the sunrise in so long.
Tired, but not sleepy
The dew breaks on the lawn
I always greet the morning when you're gone.
It's dawn.

At 5 am, it's chilly, and I almost sleep. I almost sleep.
At 6 o'clock, the fog lifts from my sheets.
Seven brings the coffee.
Eight the sparrow's song.
I always meet the morning when you're gone.
It's dawn.
