No Night before Dawn

No Night before Dawn

Can you see me

This little homely me

Poor and lonesome

As one can be

A firestorm

Around my neck

The desert's calling

For one more wreck

Empty rooms

In empty spaces

Fading memories

Trite fading faces

Empty hearts

Desires and love

Empty blue skies

There high above

Don't want to die

Beyond a real smile

 No, don't want to cry

Walking that mile

God give me happiness

To cover my weary bones

God give me some peace

After too many homes

Let me gladly wake up

With the sun on my face

Blood in all my heart

Power and grace

Open that door

I'm quite longing for

And long before daylight

Ain't be no night there anymore
