When the dawn begins to creep

And the light begins to peep

And the morning sky lark begins to sing

Just as the day is dawning

 

I will raise my drowsy head

Climb up from the make-shift bed 

That once we shared for a little while

Before the day came dawning

 

Oh the place is warm where once you lay

Before usurping dawn and prying day

Came to steal my love away

Just as the day was dawning

 

When the grass is wet with dew

In the pavement peeping through

And the sky is fading grey to blue

Over the red sun rising

 

I will walk these lonely streets

Out to wear the city meets

The hills that climb high up to the dawn

Under the red sun rising

 

And now the songbirds sing from every spray

As retreating clouds go skimming on their way

Night time dreams melt into day

Under the red sun rising

 

And now I turn to watch the brightness grow

Stare into the blinding sun because I know

I’ll see you in the afterglow

Under a red sun rising
