When Morning Breaks
Tom Paxton
[Verse 1] When morning breaks I’ll be gone. When morning breaks I’ll be gone. And where I go I do not know. When morning breaks I’ll be gone. [Chorus] The drums are rolling for war. The drums are rolling for war. The lines are forming to wait for the morning To wait for the cruel cannons’ roar! [Verse 2] The Captain read off my name. The Captain read off my name. The regiment is marching to war. The Captain read off my name. [Chorus] The drums are rolling for war. The drums are rolling for war. The lines are forming to wait for the morning To wait for the cruel cannons’ roar! [Verse 3] I’ll breathe your name through the fire. I’ll breathe your name through the fire. I’ll breathe your name to bring me home again. I’ll breathe your name through the fire. [Chorus] The drums are rolling for war. The drums are rolling for war. The lines are forming to wait for the morning To wait for the cruel cannons’ roar!
