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

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

I'll stay with you until the morning light

In the turning tide

I'll 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

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

In turning tides

So I cut her free and find

In turning tides

I'll stay with you until the morning light

I'll set you free

I'll stay with you until the morning light

I'll set you free

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

Like a gunshot with both windows shaking loud
