Crimson Dawn

One fateful night,

well I woke to hear that sound

like a gunshot,

with both windows shaking loud.

Great lengthy cries that came racing through the sky,

from a fearsome wreck,

a great dagger stuck in her deck.



(chorus)

Crimson Dawn,

my heart was torn,

a midnight rescue we were called upon,

a freedom fire with burning eyes,

a figure tangled up in turning tides



so i cut her free and find....



This floating town it'd broke up, run aground

when the call came out to put fair Charlotte in

so we ploughed those waves

with a hundred left to save

in the fading light, well i held on strong and tight



(chorus)



ill stay with you 'til the morning light

in the turning tide

ill set you free



sharp rocks we braved,

for the last hand i would save,

it was a beauty fair

with wild and tangled hair,

thick rope entwined well i cut her free and find

that your fast embrace, well i held her face to face.



(chorus)



so i cut her free and find

in turning tides

so i cut her free and find

in turning tides

ill stay with you 'til the morning light

ill set you free



it was a fateful night when i woke to hear that sound

like a gunshot, with both windows shaking loud.
