Long Thin Dawn — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin` on again
I`ve seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal
In every town I`ve been to I`ve had someone to call
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
I`ve had so many good friends I couldn`t miss them all

And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin` on again

Last night I came to Denver beneath the snow-capped ridge
I thought about my darlin` as I stood beneath the bridge
And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now she`s learned
That any time I`ve wandered I always have returned

And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin` on again

Right now I`m on a highway just east of Omaha
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the way to Windsor, we`ve got some miles to kill

And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin` on again

While climbin` up a hillside, Bill drops `er down a gear
And the engine sings so sweetly `tis music to my ear
I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can
Drivin` like the restless wind across this precious land

Says Bill "the air is clean tonight" as he puffs a big cigar
"And if this rig keeps rollin`, my boy you`ll travel far
But when you are a trucker you`ll come to realize
The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by"

And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin` on again

That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin` on again
