The Quiet Before Dawn (버전 2)

Verse

Rain finds the crack where the roofline bends

Drifts down through the paper shade

The clock still says half past three

My heart's long since quit the day

Window glass a blurry blur of grey

Puddle light bleeding silver and blue

The room is holding its last breath

Nothing left but me and this hush, too

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building up slow?

Some kind of quiet we don't know

Chorus

It's the quiet before dawn breaks through

Soft gold where the shadows used to be

Let the rain keep falling soft on my skin

This is where I learn how to let go of what was mine

Verse 2

The streetlamp flickers, then goes still

Stars are burning low behind the glass

My jacket's hanging by the door

I left it there like I knew this wouldn't last

Steam off a cup gone cold now

Fingers trace the rings where it stood

Every windowpane looks empty

Every corner is just waiting to be understood

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building up slow?

Some kind of quiet we don't know

Chorus

It's the quiet before dawn breaks through

Soft gold where the shadows used to be

Let the rain keep falling soft on my skin

This is where I learn how to let go of what was mine

Bridge

Maybe nothing left to lose or save

Just this grey light turning amber, then gold

Every ending becomes a door

And I'm learning how slow to cross it alone

Chorus

It's the quiet before dawn breaks through

Soft gold where the shadows used to be

Let the rain keep falling soft on my skin

This is where I learn how to let go of what was mine
