Dawn's Early Light

While I greet the colors of the day
flowing in after a lonely night,
I wonder how we ended this way.

My dreams are all in shades of gray
about our finally dwindling plight.
While I greet the colors of the day -

I remember when against you I would sway,
and you were my wonderful shining knight.
I wonder how we ended this way.

Too many nights you stay away,
and you keep yourself from my sight
while I greet the colors of the day.

Those nights you’re gone, I know you stray.
You’ll hurt her, too, when the time is right.
I wonder how we ended this way.

The end is near, this marriage of clay;
Soon it will be our very last fight.
While I greet the colors of the day,
I wonder how we ended this way.
