Before the Dawn

[위클리서울=고홍석 기자] 

빛이 열리자
새가
하늘을
날기 시작한다

동트는 새벽
바다 앞에 서면
저는 정통 해비메탈 밴드인 주다스 프리스트의 <Before the Dawm>을 흥얼거립니다.
가사 중에 있는 휘파람 소리를 듣고 싶은 마음으로...

Before the dawn I hear you whisper
In your sleep
Don't let the morning take him
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving

I've spent a life time
Since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long
And now you're leaving
Oh please don't take it all away

Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
In your sleep
Don't let the morning take him
