When I was young and foolish and always on the go
|
I met up with this beauty out on the western coast
|
I learned that she was married and that her name was Dawn
|
But to know that she was married didn't send me home
|
We'd lead in secred places all along the bay
|
I realized it wasn't right for man to live that way
|
We lived high on his money as though it was our own
|
And cared not how it broke his heart to wait for Dawn till dawn
|

|
When he ran out of money his wife ran out of time
|
So that's when she divorced him at last she was all mine
|
But I've worked long for hours so far into the night
|
To buy Dawn's pretty dresses so short and oh so tight
|
For weeks now I've been searching for a work with better pay
|
At last a thousand that she spend I don't see how I'll pay
|
It must be time for reaping the wild seeds that I've sown
|
At three a.m. I'm weeping as I wait for Dawn till dawn
|
Yes at three a.m. I'm weeping as I wait for Dawn till dawn
|
