David Broza Night Dawn (Silver Dollar) Lyrics

The night grew cold
The moon shown blue
When I hit the broad highway
The winds of change turned
Strong and strange
I leave my childhood behind
Until I spy the light of day
Dreaming of treasures to find

If I had a silver dollar
I'd spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

If I had a silver dollar
I'd spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

Miles soon slid beneath my feet
Time slipped through my fingers
Every sweet temptation I met
Gave me cause to linger
Not many a wilder youth than I
I'll ride on the dark ‘til the night I die
‘Til the night I die

If I had a silver dollar
Spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler I wish it on the mourning dove

If I had a silver dollar
Spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

If I had a silver dollar
Spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

If I had a silver dollar
Spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

If I had a silver dollar
Spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

If I had a silver dollar
Spend it on the one I love
If it's stuck in a lonesome holler
I wish it on the mourning dove

Wish it on the mourning dove
Wish it on the mourning dove
