Lyrics Crimson Dawn - Seth Lakeman

Crimson Dawn

One fateful night
Well I woke to hear that sound
Like a gunshot
With both windows shaking loud
Great lengthy cries that came racing through the sky
From a fearsome wreck
A great dagger stuck in her deck
Crimson Dawn
My heart was torn
A midnight rescue we were called upon
A freedom fire with burning eyes
A figure tangled up in turning tides
So i cut her free and find…
This floating town it’d broke up, run aground
When the call came out to put fair Charlotte in
So we ploughed those waves
With a hundred left to save
In the fading light, well i held on strong and tight
Ill stay with you 'til the morning light
In the turning tide
Ill set you free
Sharp rocks we braved
For the last hand i would save
It was a beauty fair
With wild and tangled hair
Thick rope entwined well i cut her free and find
That your fast embrace, well i held her face to face
So i cut her free and find
In turning tides
So i cut her free and find
In turning tides
Ill stay with you 'til the morning light
Ill set you free
It was a fateful night when i woke to hear that sound
Like a gunshot, with both windows shaking loud
