Lyrics Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

At Break Of Day

I know the sun's about to come up

I close my eyes anyway

My mouth is dry and the sheets are cold

And will be still come break of day

You called me up just to surprise me

To hear my voice, see what I'd say

I only whispered, and then hung up

Whispered "wait til break of day"

At break of day I'm ending all of it

And so don't say you've had a ball

Dawn is mine, but I will share it

With whatever bird will wear it

On her body bare and pink

Now what do you think of break of day

I locked my door, I should unlock it

What if you should come this way

And in and have a drink and dancing

Dancing till the break of day

And then to bed we'd dance towards

And tiredly kiss and roll in hay

But waking in the evening I see

You left after break of day

At break of day I'm ending all of it

And so don't say you've had a ball

Dawn is mine, but I will share it

With whatever bird will wear it

On her body bare and pink

Now what do you think of break of day

At break of day I'm ending all of it

And so don't say you've had a ball

Dawn is mine, but I will share it

With whatever bird will wear it

On her body bare and pink

Now what do you think of break of day

I hate myself when I'm alone

It's just with you I feel okay

And so tomorrow you'll fell sorrow

When I am gone at break of day
