Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
a pale gold crept above the hill
the horizon held its breath.
[Verse 1]
I watched the dark release its grip, I remember.
the first ray warmed the frozen sill, still and tender.
the hours that wouldn't end gave way, a quiet ember.
the morning opened like a gift, now or never.
[Pre-Chorus]
the endless black that owned the clock withdrew, pulling me under.
every sunrise a quiet promise, I'm not done, I'm not done.
[Chorus]
dawn after the long night.
the glow returns to what seemed lost, holding the sound.
what was buried now blooms awake, spinning me round.
dawn after the long night.
[Verse 2]
the horizon held its breath, different weather.
the first ray warmed the frozen sill, we're still together.
the morning opened like a gift, light as a feather.
I watched the dark release its grip, now or never.
[Chorus]
dawn after the long night.
the glow returns to what seemed lost, holding the sound.
what was buried now blooms awake, spinning me round.
dawn after the long night.
[Bridge]
Oh, I watched the dark release its grip, let it mend, let it mend.
the morning opened like a gift, now I'm safe, now I'm safe.
the endless black that owned the clock — I am whole, I am whole.
[Chorus]
dawn after the long night.
the glow returns to what seemed lost, holding the sound.
what was buried now blooms awake, spinning me round.
dawn after the long night.
[Outro]
a pale gold crept above the hill...
dawn after the long night.
[Fade Out]
[End]
