Lover To The Dawn - (demo)

(David Bowie)



And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter

She gave them life
She gave them all
They drained her very soul dry... dry
  
Hey hey hey bitter girl
We're all just sitting here digging you
We flew down here just to figure you
It's easy
Don't be so bitter
Oh oh oh crazy girl
You gave too much and you got nothing
Too many problems and not one thing
In return
Left high and dry
Ohh

And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on
She finds lavender
To hide the beckoning
of ?
What price ? ?
She throws back her head to scream her sighs
The woman shades its hides
To such a strange affair
  
Hey hey hey bitter girl
We're not just sitting here digging you
We flew down here just to figure you
?
You seem to lose
Whoa-oh-oh crazy girl
Don't throw your heart to the crowded room
Don't waste it all for the crowded room
Why do you stay here for so long?

Here comes the day open your eyes
To the sun, to the sun, to the sun
Here comes the day open your eyes
To the sun, to the sun, to the sun
Here comes the day open your eyes
To the sun, to the sun, to the sun

You can be lover - to the dawn
You can be lover - to the dawn
You can be lover - to the dawn
You can be lover - to the dawn
You can be lover - to the dawn
