Dark Day Lyrics by Steve Walsh

Shadowman

2007

[Verse 1]
City sirens bust in my bed
I hear the windows moan, I see the sun is red
Despair fell yesterday
I saw the tide just wash my soul away
It's a dark day
Cup of coffee'd be warm goin' down
I'd stare inside to see if I'm gonna drown
I think the first thing I'll do
Is scatter dreams on Reckless Avenue
[Chorus]
Oh, red dawn
It's a dark day in Babylon
Red, red dawn
It's a dark day in the heart of a vagabond
[Verse 2]
Patron saint with the evil eye
Book of shadows fallin' from the sky
Splintered trees that make no sense
Jagged glass and steel in the present tense
It's a dark day
Ill-fitting clothes and cadaver hounds
Muddy bog is all that's left of Babylon
Shock treatments of an eerie scene
Ten thousand travesties, what do they mean?
[Chorus]
Oh, red dawn
It's a dark day in Babylon
Red, red dawn
It's a dark day in the heart–
[Bridge]
Moon cryin', shots ring out
From poison pens of treason
Sun burns, the river's foul
Suffering gets its season
All lost at sea
All lost at sea
Let go, 'cause you know
It's only me
[Verse 3]
City sirens bust in my bed
I hear the windows moan, I see the sun is red
Silent thought till a voice rang out
Looked around and said, "What's this all about?"
It's a dark day, it's a dark day
[Chorus]
Oh, red dawn
It's a dark day in Babylon
Red, red dawn
It's a dark day in the heart–
Oh, red dawn
It's a dark day in Babylon
Red, red dawn
It's a dark day in the heart of a vagabond
