Been running away so long from the day   Into the strange night of stone to fade away   As the light is gently bleeding out of my soul   Penetrating the evening as i ride on this endless road      But you can't turn back the time   It always gonna wait on the line      Some may wish never to be born   Wasting the dawn   Like a rose growing from the christ's thorn   Wasting the dawn      Dawn been waiting for you so long little bird of prey   To fly me higher to the brighter day   Where the lizard lingers long under the sun   Forgetting the night darkest july paris '71      But you can't turn back the time   It always gonna wait on the line      Some may wish never to be born   Wasting the dawn   Like a rose growing from the christ's thorn   Wasting the dawn      Some may wish never to be born   Wasting the dawn   Like a rose growing from the christ's thorn   Wasting the dawn       Some may wish never to be born   Wasting the dawn   Like a rose growing from the christ's thorn   Wasting the dawn
