Dawn Carriage

Shaded by the trees, calling out to the wind,
I'm lying face-down crying

I saw a version of myself I didn't even recognize

On this guitar I'm playing the melody of someone who's passed on

A star falls in the grief of someone who'll never be seen again

Please don't go, no matter how much you scream,

all it will do is quietly stir these orange petals

Saved on my soft brow,

I send the memories in my palm far away

An eternal farewell as I keep strumming

The heart of a child clinging to a gentle hand

The blazing wheels cast it off and continue on

On this guitar I'm playing the grief of someone who's passed on

The strings in my heart being plucked at violently

In the pure white unstained by sorrow,

the orange petals stirred in a summer shadow

Even if my soft brow is lost,

I'll cross over the far off, red-stained sand

The rhythm of farewell

Branded into my memories, on the ever-turning earth,

there is something sprouting in remembrance

Sending off the dawn's carriage

Those orange petals are stirring somewhere even now

The peaceful daybreak I once saw

Until it is placed in my hands once more,

please don't let the light go out

The wheels are turning
