As the dawn is breaking on your future my child
Is there none of your love alive?
If every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
I don't know if I can survive
Long is the road that takes you from home
My baby, oh my darling
And sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
For the poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light
This morning I opened my eyes
I knew from the silence that something was wrong
Turning, I realised
I wanted to cry when I knew I was alone
But where will you go
And who will be your guide
And which way will you turn
The waters are so wide?
'Cos I never told you
No, you'll never really know
I need you so
Now the sun is rising on your freedom my child
Is there none of your love alive?
Every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
Knowing part of your love was lies
Long is the road that takes you from home
My baby, oh my darling
And sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
For the poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light
The moment I opened my eyes
I knew from the silence that something was wrong
Turning, I realised
I wanted to cry when I knew I was alone
But where will you go
And who will be your guide
And which way will you turn
The water are so wide?
'Cos I never told you
No, you'll never really know
I need you so
