This Precious Early Dawn




Shall we run away at sunrise?

Follow where the wild geese play

Until they take flight

It would be sweet to stay

Embrace our beating hearts

We could learn to love again

You with me and I with you


Not to give away it

And I don’t want to say it

Though I secretly crave it

And that much is true


My heart is in a frenzy

‘Cause my soul can somehow sense 

Meaningful and crazy

I cannot decide what is next


And I love to feel you near me

I’m on your side o’the bed

This morning is all I need

To fall outside my head

You’ve made coffee, watching me sleep

Deeper into the sheets

Pray forever this keeps

This precious early dawn

Breathing glimmers on the snow.
