I lost sight of the raging waters Below the surface where I lay Fractures slip like ghosting fish Below my fingertips I watched the days in proud procession Upon the icy pools above And saw the stars like distant fires That follow each day through
Cold dawn in the world that I made Cold water and chiseled stone Maybe time will one day find me Maybe then I'll get back home Cold dawn in a world that I made My memories are all I know So if you're searching, I'm still waiting Where is time to bring me home
I don't want to be here I don't need to be here I don't want to be here I don't need to be here
Cold dawn in the world that I built Cold water and chiseled stone Maybe time will one day find me Maybe then I'll get back home Cold dawn in a world that I made My memories are all I know So if you're searching, I'm still waiting Where is time to bring me home
I drew regret with a dull blue pencil Deep beneath the danger's mark It left me here below the ocean Below the wreckage of my heart And now I breathe this cold dead water No time to give what others steal No song of life to make things better No warmth in love for me to feel
Cold dawn in the world that I built Cold water and chiseled stone Maybe time will one day find me Maybe then I'll get back home Cold dawn in a world that I made Where memories are all I know So if you're searching, I'm still waiting Where is time to bring me home
(overlapping) Cold dawn Waiting for the night to come I don't need to be here [chorus]
