Dawn is right

I've got the bottle but no baby
and I'm thinking that just maybe
if I hang on here till daybreak
there might be someone I could make
my partner in crime
new and old as time

      oh the dawn is right
      for loving
      after such a night
      love at dawn is right

I'm drinking like a desert man
who's movie's dying in the can
but hang on for I'm not lonely
I'm just alone but that is only
coincidence I tell you
something that won't do


         refr.

And there are jewels in the barlights
in all the groaning and the sighs
complaints about what's wrong with life
about the heartache pointed as a knife
going through soft butter
pain that makes me stutter

       refr.
