Before the Dawn

Thought I saw you smile

Underneath you were frownin'

Thought I saw you wave

But you must have been drownin'

What's a rose without a thorn?

What is calm without a storm?

I can't say I know what you're goin' through

I know you won't find peace without a war

The finest silk can still be torn

And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up

Keep your head up

My love

When you feel alone

And the room is overcrowded, oh, oh, oh

I want you to know

You can talk to me about it, darling, yeah

What's a rose without a thorn?

What is calm without a storm?

I can't say I know what you're goin' through

But I know you won't find peace without a war

The finest silk can still be torn

And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up

Keep your head up

My love

Oh, too many words goin' unspoken

And oh, my door will always be open

What's a heart if it's never been broken?

What's a rose without a thorn?

What is calm without a storm?

And I can't say I know what you're goin' through

Yeah, you won't find peace without a war

The finest silk can still be torn

And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up

Keep your head up

My love, my love

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

My love
