The Breaking of the Dawn |
| There’s a slow train |
| Pulling through the desert |
| The colored cars pass quietly from sight |
| Between the highway and the long horizon |
| Precious dreams wind away with the light |
| My brother’s and my sisters' faces linger |
| The hours of our childhood, grave and gold |
| Driving through these solitary places |
| Memories of their gentile kinship |
| Touch my soul |
| The hawk wheels away as we pass here |
| The clouds billow up and fly on |
| Down the road some hard turns |
| Are going to shake us |
| Ride with us |
| Through the breaking of the dawn |
| Worry for my loving mother |
| The dimming years |
| The trials she has known |
| Her heart so kind and so weary |
| Keep her safe one more night |
| 'til I get home |
| How I long to be right there beside her |
| And bring everything back to before |
| We’ll arrive with the first light of morning |
| Keep her safe, let me hold her once more |
| The sage and Joshua tree remind me |
| Of the miles to go |
| The journey that we’re on |
| In the still, sweet air of the desert |
| We will ride |
| Through the breaking of the dawn |
