Down an empty avenue at the breaking of the day
I'm walking slow and quiet as the dark begins to fray
The city that was wide awake is catching up on breath
And the hush of early morning feels like everything is left
The cool air on my face
Is clearing out my mind
Walking alone at dawn, I finally meet myself
Walking alone at dawn, I'm not anybody else
Quiet, and I love this empty street
Walking alone at dawn, where my heart and silence meet
The lamplight's growing softer as the sky turns into gold
The stories of the night before are quietly getting old
I don't need any company, I don't need a sound
Just the rhythm of my footsteps on the cold and waking ground
The cool air on my face
Is clearing out my mind
Walking alone at dawn, I finally meet myself
Walking alone at dawn, I'm not anybody else
Quiet, and I love this empty street
Walking alone at dawn, where my heart and silence meet
There's a peace you only find when you're the only one around
A kind of gentle freedom in the absence of a sound
Walking alone at dawn, I'm lighter than I've been
Walking alone at dawn, with a calm I've never seen
Quiet, and the morning sets me free
Walking alone at dawn, I'm exactly where I should be
