Dawn Breaks

Dawn breaks, you go
Softly into tomorrow
A last wave, a long road
Of dim skies, where the comets go
Entering the load rocket phase
Hear the countdown start
Arms strapped in place
Ready for liftoff

Dawn breaks, you go
Softly into tomorrow
A path straightforward
Through lit skies, our eyes see the earth reverse
Enter into cold outer space
Steady calm and slow
Cause one small mistake
And a tragedy unfolds

And I can't imagine one night without you (can't imagine)
On a black adventure through skies once blue
Mission to control tower, please, can't you guide me home?
Her soft embrace is what I miss most

Dawn breaks, you go
Softly into tomorrow

Mission to control tower
Please, can't you guide me home?
For this is no place
To be stranded all alone

And I count the minutes in time by twos (counting down)
And divide the seconds, yes, I miss you
Mission to control tower, please, can't you guide me home?
Cause her soft embrace is what I miss most

So, lower me down forever (down, down, down)
To touch the ground is such a treasure (touch the ground)
So, lower me down forever (down, down)
Hear the hush of sound from the engines shutting down
