A Minute Before Dawn

A minute before dawn
I cover her sleeping form
And take my silent leave
The morrow I am gone

I know I shouldn't look back
Lest I forget I have never been here
Never to return
Never to forget

Grave and tranquil lake
All quiet in my wake
The burden that was me
Forsaken for her sake

I know I shouldn't look back
Lest I forget I have never been here
Never to return
Never to forget
