Been running away So long from the day Into the strange night of stone To fade away As the light is gently Bleeding out of my soul Penetrating the evening As I ride On this endless road But you can't turn back the time It always gonna wait on the line Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn Wasting the dawn Been waiting for you for so long Little bird of prey To fly me higher To the brighter day Where the lizard lingers long Under the sun Forgetting the night Darkest July Paris '71 But you can't turn back the time It always gonna wait on the line Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn Wasting the dawn Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn Wasting the dawn Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn Wasting the dawn Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn Wasting the dawn Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn Wasting the dawn Some may wish never to be born Wasting the dawn Like a rose growing from the Christ's thorn They're all gonna waste the dawn
