Dawn Rising (If he could move her)

Dawn Rising
(If He Could Move Her)

For Peter Prineas

If he could move her
Into the star beams
With sweet summer zephyrs
Kissing their dreams
At the ledge of a window
In an Ancient wall
He might buy her some more time
This house will never fall


Every Morning He will think of you
He will rise early just to see your view
Balanced on the brow of Kythira's ancient air
Breathe her in deeply she is everywhere.

His is an Island
Devoted to devotion
It’s taken his desire
Put it in slow motion
Thirty-six years of love
Is more than it seems
He has all the graces
Of his ancestors dreams


Every Morning He will think of you
He will rise early just to see your view
Balanced on the brow of Kythira's ancient air
Breathe her in deeply she is everywhere

He stands with his friends
On the roof of their home
Ancient seas ahead
Love rising on their foam
Balanced on the brow
Of Kythira’s ancient air
Breath her in deeply
She is everywhere

Instrumental Interlude

Every Morning He will think of you
He will rise early just to see your view
Balanced on the brow of Kythira’s ancient air
Breathe her in deeply she is everywhere…
