Crimson Dawn - Seth Lakeman

One fateful night

Well I woke to hear that sound

Like a gunshot

With both windows shaking loud

Great lengthy cries that came racing through the sky

From a fearsome wreck

A great dagger stuck in her deck

Crimson Dawn

My heart was torn

A midnight rescue we were called upon

A freedom fire with burning eyes

A figure tangled up in turning tides

So i cut her free and find…

This floating town it’d broke up, run aground

When the call came out to put fair Charlotte in

So we ploughed those waves

With a hundred left to save

In the fading light, well i held on strong and tight

Ill stay with you 'til the morning light

In the turning tide

Ill set you free

Sharp rocks we braved

For the last hand i would save

It was a beauty fair

With wild and tangled hair

Thick rope entwined well i cut her free and find

That your fast embrace, well i held her face to face

So i cut her free and find

In turning tides

So i cut her free and find

In turning tides

Ill stay with you 'til the morning light

Ill set you free

It was a fateful night when i woke to hear that sound

Like a gunshot, with both windows shaking loud
