Lyrics
She comes riding early in the morning round,
About four to seven, no one’s ever out at that hour.
With eyes that see her touch the morning flowers secretly,
And the leaves slow their commotion,
And the great trees gently sway like an ocean on a still day,
And raise in praise their arms to the sun.
Who announces the day has begun
At eight frames a second.

And velvety shadows in misty meadows are changing colours so softly.
With care the sun puts colour in his drawing
And rises to inspect his masterpiece this morning so perfect,
And she rides through gold and silver miles,
Only the sun is sure what it is that she smiles for.
She leaves with no sign of what she has done
Though her morning ride’s known by ev’ryone.
I’ll tell you her name and it’s Dawn.
