Testo Samantha Dawn

Samantha Dawn, don't you wake up this morning
And look out of the window in regret
Wipe away all the tears from yesterday
And try to look ahead to see what's left
You lock yourself inside your room too many times
And envy shouldn't be your only friend
The kids are playing in the rain and running through the streets
And you should join them there today
Leaping in on an evening filled will pills
And drinking in the early morning sun
Lost again in a gram of old cocaine
And coming down on Monday isn't fun
Tell us all about your fears and paint a canvas of your dreams
You won't remember by tonight
And Morningside in Spring looks beautiful for now
In the early evening light

Samantha Dawn, won't you do what you were born to do?
Or are you scared?
Climb the stairs through the roof and say your prayers
Look up to see the sky
The lightning overheard spills shadowsIn the incandescent music of your soul
And I wish I'd seen the sight of you blanketed in light
Before you're gone

Here and now, well they put you in the ground
Placed a rock above your head
And every week we come and gather at your feet
To pour another bottle in respect
And I hope you're happy now in your palace underground
And we won't leave you out of sight
To think a wallflower like you was coming into bloom
For one extraordinary night

Samantha Dawn, riding on towards the sun
Samantha Dawn, queen of the morning
