DAWN
Lyrics & Melody by Petra Jasmiina
You get up before the sun
I can hear the floors creak under your bare feet
You put the kettle on
And right before the steam you take it off so it doesn’t scream and wake me up
I hear you make a cup of tea
Although you only drink coffee
It’s just for me
You brush your hand over my cheek
as I pretend to sleep cause I don’t want to wake up to see if it’s just a dream
And I get so afraid to move, to breathe, to open my eyes
What if it’s all a fake, a hoax, a dream just exquisite lies
To share this home with you is heaven
I never believed in, I never believed
That after all this time, those flghts and fights I stood on my own
That after all those gooddamn nights I stayed awake you let the dawn in
And in the dark I hear you say, darling by the way
It’s a beautiful morning
I hear you make a cup of tea
Although you only drink coffee
It’s just for me
You brush your hand over my cheek
as I pretend to sleep cause I don’t want to wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
​
‘Cause I want you to know I don’t need chandeliers
This house is small and old and it’s ours
The winter paints the windows with flowers
Your smile makes me forget about chasing the hours
And I want you to know
I don’t need souvenirs
We have the whole world right in our grasp
I sit and read your head on my lap
we travel faraway lands as the rain taps taps on the roof that you built for us
You wanted to make it see-through so we could see the trees through
So we could see the trees
You brush your hand over my cheek as I pretend to sleep
And I get so afraid to move, to breathe, to open my eyes
What if it’s all a fake, a hoax, a dream just exquisite lies
To share this home with you is heaven
I never believed in, I never believed
And I want you to know I don’t need chandeliers, I don’t need souvenirs
The winter paints the windows with flowers
I sit and read
As the rain taps taps on the roof that you built for us
So we could see through
We could see the skies through
To share this home with you is heaven
So we can see the trees
You let the dawn in
Darling you let you dawn in
And it’s a beautiful morning
