been runnin' away so long from the day
into the strange night of stone
to fade away
as the light is gently
bleedin' out of my soul
penetratin' 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
wastin' the dawn like a rose growin'
from the christ's thorn
wastin' the dawn been waitin'
for you so long little bird of prey
to fly me higher
to the brighter day
where the lizard lingers long
under the sun
forgettin' the night
darkest july paris '71
