[Chorus]
That long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
[Verse 2]
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
Any time I've wandered I always have returned
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
[Verse 2]
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
Any time I've wandered I always have returned
[Chorus]
And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
