Cracks of Dawn Songtext
von The Waifs

Colour fading from the morning sky
I′ve lost the inclination to perform
Love didn't stand a chance and neither did I
So I′m slipping through the cracks of dawn

Or maybe I'm self-seeking or maybe seeking for myself
But it leaves me crying, weeping and for long
Never more to dance with chance or circumstance, am I?
I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn


And there′s no such thing as unexpected turbulence
Everybody is weathering the storm
From this moment on I ain′t gonna ride it out alone on my own
I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn

You promised more than fleeting empty pleasure
I need permanence and peace to keep me warm
The things of this world ain′t the ones to treasure
So I'm slipping on through the cracks of dawn

Well, I can′t believe that I nearly lost my soul completely
You looked so good but I was just your pawn
You slipped the dagger in and you smiled so sweetly
So I'm slipping on through the cracks of dawn


Now the melody of life is there to greet me
There′s a soothing measured rhythm to the song
Every little piece just fits so neatly
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn
