That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
I've seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal
In every town I've been to I've had someone to call
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
I've had so many good friends I couldn't miss them all
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
Last night I came to Denver beneath the snow-capped ridge
I thought about my darlin' as I stood beneath the bridge
And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now she's learned
That any time I've wandered I always have returned
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
While climbin' up a hillside, Bill drops 'er down a gear
And the engine sings so sweetly 'tis music to my ear
I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can
Drivin' like the restless wind across this precious land
Says Bill "the air is clean tonight" as he puffs a big cigar
"And if this rig keeps rollin', my boy you'll travel far
But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize
The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by"
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on againIsolation
When you leave it's like I disappear
Desolation
Everytime you go it feels like
Seconds slowly turn to minutes
A month of sundays coming up
Time again it pulls me under
Wonder if I'll ever rise above
It's too much but not enough
Misery loves company
For a little bit of sympathy
It's here today but it's gone tomorrow
It's here today and today will never come again
Desperation
Sinking into somewhere dark and cold
Deviation
A place I knew I did not want to go
To forget is all I know
Minutes slowly turn to hours
Another moment passs by
Seconds of eternity
I wonder if it's time to say goodbye...
