Crimson Dawn

One fateful night

I woke to hear that sound

Like a gun shot

Both windows shaking loud

Great lengthy cries

They came racing from the sky

From a fearsome wreck

With grey daggers stuck in her neck

Crimson dawn, my heart was torn

A midnight rescue we were called upon

Freedom fire with burning eyes

Her figure tangled up in turning tides

So I cut her free and fine

This floating town

It had 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

And in fading light

Well I held on strong and tight

Crimson dawn, my heart was torn

A midnight rescue we were called upon

Freedom fire with burning eyes

Her figure tangled up in turning tides

I'll stay with you, till the morning tides

I'll set you free

Sharp rocks we braved

For the last hand I would save

Was a beauty fair with wild, torn, tangled hair

Thick rope entwined, well I cut her free and fine

Into a fast embrace

Well I held her face to face

Crimson dawn, my heart was torn

A midnight rescue we were called upon

Freedom fire with burning eyes

Her figure tangled up in turning tides

So I cut her free and fine

So I cut her free and fine

I'll stay with you, till the morning tides

I'll set you free

I'll stay with you, till the morning tides

I'll set you free

It was a fateful night

When I woke to hear that sound

Like a gun shot

With both windows shaking loud
