Seth Lakeman - Crimson Dawn lyrics

One fateful night, well I woke to hear that sound like a gunshot, with both windows shaking loud. Great lengthy cries that came racing through the sky, from a fearsome wreck, a great dagger stuck in her deck. (chorus) Crimson Dawn, my heart was torn, a midnight rescue we were called upon, a freedom fire with burning eyes, a figure tangled up in turning tides so i cut her free and find.... This floating town it'd broke up, run aground when the call came out to put fair Charlotte in so we ploughed those waves with a hundred left to save in the fading light, well i held on strong and tight (chorus) ill stay with you 'til the morning light in the turning tide ill set you free sharp rocks we braved, for the last hand i would save, it was a beauty fair with wild and tangled hair, thick rope entwined well i cut her free and find that your fast embrace, well i held her face to face. (chorus) so i cut her free and find in turning tides so i cut her free and find in turning tides ill stay with you 'til the morning light ill set you free it was a fateful night when i woke to hear that sound like a gunshot, with both windows shaking loud.
