Lyrics
This morning early, I walked on
While my darling was in a dream
The last sweet days of summer bloomed
And dressed the trees in green
Then soaring high in the gleaming sky
From far across the bay
Came a fearsome roar from a distant shore
At the dawning of the day
Then I called my men to follow me
Knowing well that the view was dim
Though tired and worn, how they fought on
As time was closing in
And my heart was sad, though sore with pride
But brave lads all were they
As the angels fly, how they climb so high
On the dawning of the day
But the edge is moving nearer now
Inside the fading sun
And calling, calling out to them
My brothers, one by one
But only dusty, silent sound
The ashes float away
As the twilight ends and the night descends
Till the dawning of the day
Forgive me love, I'm going now
So very far away
When darkness falls, only think me near
And do not be afraid
And please don't grieve when I am gone
Abide in what remains
Till the shadows end and we meet again
On the dawning of the day
For when shadows end, we shall meet again
On the dawning of the day
