Fairport Convention - Dawn Lyrics
Morning shone among the shadows
Sunlight bled upon the silence
From the blackest night
Must come the morning sky
But yesterday was such a long time
From the barren land
Yesterday might always rise
Sleep, will we ever sleep
Oh, to sleep in peace once again my love
Tears are falling in the darkness
Hearts are bleeding in the silence
From the widest ocean
Who would miss this smallest tear
Then might always last forever
But these stormy clouds
We may see them all disappear
Hope has she really gone
Will she ever come back again my love
Sleep, will we ever sleep
Oh, to sleep in peace once again to love
Hope has she really gone
Will she ever come home again my love

Fairport Convention Dawn Comments
A rare songwriting collaboration, this one with the great guitarist Jerry Donahue.
Love how her voice breaks on "my" about 1:04
I presume Mattacks on drums on this one?
Definitely Dave Mattacks.
@Michael Igoe If it is Dave Mattacks on drums, I just wonder why Bruce Rowland is on the album cover?
@Portcullis Just checked Wiki. It appears that Mattacks quit halfway through the recording sessions. And Rowland replaced him. So honour is saved all round, glad to say.
@Michael Igoe Oh OK. Thanks for the prompt reply. Great song anyway.
@Portcullis But Mattacks unique style removes any doubt about this track.
Voice of an angle one of there best songs not herd this for such a long time thanks for the download.
Voice of an angle - lol
@Ken Shersley Aw man ! That was too easy. Don't do it .
@Ken Shersley Better to have the voice of an Angle than a Saxon or a Jute!
La voce di Sandy rimarrà sempre.
l'hai detto!!! Forse non tutto l'album è al meglio ma certamente ci sono delle perle assolute. Jerry alla lead guitar è magistrale. Grande line up quella di nine con l'aggiunta di Sandy . Peccato sia durata solo 3 anni. E intanto Swarb se ne è andato già da un anno. Dio li benedica per la musica e l'amicizia che mi hanno dato. Ciao.
Wonderful song,one of Sandy Denny's best.It is a shame that her voice gets a bit lost in the mix about half-way through the song.
Bendigedig!!
The best of that album... crazy about it :-)
love this song
