lyrics

As the break of dawn came closer
All my hopes seemed so forlorn.
The mist hid signs of laughter
And the light eluded all.
My despair was caught in motion
A face just barely true
Shadows in blue.

A flash in the night . . .

In the changing of the season
Releasing one lost name.
The scar once healed forever
Dissolving in the rain.
A twig snapped in the clearing
A glimpse on golden skin
My face within

A flash in the night . . .

My despair was caught in motion
A face just barely true

A flash in the night . . .
