Lyrics
Dawn gently fills the sky with crimson
The morning light seeps through the lace
He turns to see her sleeping in peaceful dreams
Her hair a golden cloud upon her face
"My love for thee doth cause my heart to break
Girl, thy smile is all the world to me
But cries of war now call me and I must follow
Before the darkness falls I'll be with thee."
He mounts his midnight steed in armor
And glances back before he goes
The fading hoof beats trail him into darkened woods
But she'll be waiting here for him he knows
The war is waged in mid-day sun
In battles lost, and battles won
He thinks of love now missed
Beneath a willow tree where they once kissed
A wisping wind has touched his face
He thinks again of morning lace
Then all the world is still
A vision of her face his eyes doth fill
Then as the final battle nears its ending
The setting sun's glow fills the sky
Its golden glow turns his thoughts to flaxen hair
His final thought before he dies.
"My love for thee doth cause my heart to break
Girl, thy smile is all the world to me
But cries of war now call me and I must follow
Before the darkness falls I'll be with thee
Before the darkness falls I'll be with thee."
