Dark Day - Steve Walsh

City sirens bust in my bed

I hear the windows moan, I see the sun is red

Despair fell yesterday

I saw the tide just wash my soul away

It’s a dark day

Cup of coffee’d be warm goin' down

I’d stare inside to see if I’m gonna drown

I think the first thing I’ll do

Is scatter dreams on Reckless Avenue

Oh, red dawn

It’s a dark day in Babylon

Red, red dawn

It’s a dark day in the heart of a vagabond

Patron saint with the evil eye

Book of shadows fallin' from the sky

Splintered trees that make no sense

Jagged glass and steel in the present tense

It’s a dark day

Ill-fitting clothes and cadaver hounds

Muddy bog is all that’s left of Babylon

Shock treatments of an eerie scene

Ten thousand travesties, what do they mean?

Oh, red dawn

It’s a dark day in Babylon

Red, red dawn

It’s a dark day in the heart-

Moon cryin', shots ring out

From poison pens of treason

Sun burns, the river’s foul

Suffering gets its season

All lost at sea

All lost at sea

Let go, 'cause you know

It’s only me

City sirens bust in my bed

I hear the windows moan, I see the sun is red

Silent thought till a voice rang out

Looked around and said, «What's this all about?»

It’s a dark day, it’s a dark day

Oh, red dawn

It’s a dark day in Babylon

Red, red dawn

It’s a dark day in the heart-

Oh, red dawn

It’s a dark day in Babylon

Red, red dawn

It’s a dark day in the heart of a vagabond
