Inspired by that last post, I guess it's time to repost some of my original songs for which I never thought to post lyrics in the first place. This is "Dawn and Catastrophe", written and sung by me, with backing tracks by my dear and talented friend LJ Montgomery.
Dawn and Catastrophe
Night falls, and I'm a lost soul
In the dark hugging a telephone pole
I came from Easy Street along the Road to Ruin
The name surprises me every time
Maybe that's a dangerous sign
Maybe I don't know what I'm doing
I'm standing at the corner of Dawn and Catastrophe
Just gotta take one step, before the night takes me
I swear I didn't just call to ask for your advice
I'm gonna be alone when I make this choice
But it sure is nice
To hear your voice
As I'm standing on the corner of Dawn and Catastrophe
Now I'll hang up the phone
And the moment hangs on me
Day breaks, and there's a cold dew
And I didn't move the whole night through
Caught between tomorrow and the end
I can't see what I stand before
What's behind the second door
I never could decide, no matter when
So now I'm living on the corner of Dawn and Catastrophe
I couldn't take that step, and in the end the night took me
I got a cardboard box to protect me from the rain
And a bunch of demons on my back, it seems
And I'm not insane
But in my dreams
There's a battle on the corner of Dawn and Catastrophe
And if I turn on the light
Everything turns on me
