Bonnie Prince Billy - At Break Of Day lyrics

rate me

i know the suns about to come up

i close my eyes anyway

my mouth is dry and the sheets are cold

and will be still come break of day

you called me up just to surprise me

to hear my voice, see what i had to say

i only whispered then hung up

i whispered, "wait till break of day."

at the break of day im ending all of it

and so dont say youve had a ball

dawn is mine but i will share it

with whatever bird will wear it

on her body bare and pink

now what do you think of break of day?

i locked my door, i should unlock it

what if you should come this way?

and in and have a drink and dancing

dancing till the break of day

and then to bed we danced towards

and tiredly kiss and roll in hay

but waking in the evening i see

you left after break of day

at the break of day im ending all of it

and so dont say youve had a ball

dawn is mine but i will share it

with whatever bird will wear it

on her body bare and pink

now what do you think of break of day?

at the break of day im ending all of it

and so dont say youve had a ball

dawn is mine but i will share it

with whatever bird will wear it

on her body bare and pink

now what do you think of break of day?

i hate myself when im alone

its just with you i feel ok

so tomorrow youll feel sorrow

when i am gone at break of day
