As The Dawn Breaks

As the dawn breaks
Over roof slates
Hope hung on every washing line
Does your heart ache
Over life’s fate
I know we never had much time
For us to give
We did
(not sure about this next line)
As the light creeps over the houses
And the slates are darkened by the rain
In this morning search for meaning
I hear a songbird’s mel-o-dy
A simple songbird’s mel-o-dy
And its singing just for me
And its singing just for me
And its singing just for me
