about

This is a song about clichés and generations.

lyrics

Until the Dawn
Rick Parnell

Sun keeps shining through the pouring rain
If it don't go down it can't rise again
What I'm saying has been said before
You steal your peace - now the world's at war

No need to break down, that's what the money's for
No one gets even - while everyone's keeping score

I don't know what you see in your sleep
Don't want to hear it - gives me the creeps
Black bird in the window - it won't make a peep
'til the dawn

You're not my father
I'm not my son
Won't know who we are
'til the lying is done

Hide behind miles and broken calls
He who climbs highest further falls

I don't know what you hear in the night
I'm seeing past you - but I can't find the light
Black bird at the window - seems just out of sight
Till the dawn

Mat's at the front door
porch light is on
Music is playing
Sun's nearly gone

Sun's nearly gone

Sun's nearly gone

It won't be back until the dawn
