When I was a teenager my friend and I were attempting to write songs for a band we were starting. He started a song Misty Shadows of Dawn. I never remembered how it went but I remembered the title and I came up with this version. https://soundcloud.com/gnometones/misty-shadows-of-dawn Misty Shadows of Dawn (Rick Norton ) [v1] There's an angel flying by me As I look in the early morn His eyes are edged with love and fear In the misty shadows of dawn [v2] I look out across the sea And when I turn back he is gone I wonder how it must be Outside the misty shadows of dawn [ch] I've never seen my mother I never knew my sign I've been in the shadows The mist is in my mind [v3] I would awaken to the sound Of the angels in their flight Moving past in the darkness In the still of an unseen night [v4] Have I died and gone to heaven Has my destiny been drawn Will I ever get to see Outside the misty shadows of dawn [ch] I've never seen my mother I never knew my sign I've been in the shadows The mist is in my mind [v4] Have I died and gone to heaven Has my destiny been drawn Will I ever get to see Outside the misty shadows of dawn

Hi Rick,
This sounds great. I get that 70's feel here!

Thanks Michael, Geneva, and Tammy. I'm still stuck in the 60's and 70's. I guess you write what you like. I like how this came out considering my limited musical abilities.

Hi Rick: (Happy 2015)
The cloud dislikes my browser so I could not listen but I enjoyed your imaginative, well-woven lyric. May 2015 bring you all the best... and none of the rest.

Rick,
Really pleasant listen all the way through and well written lyric. I was expecting a little more change melodically when the chorus started but it still works. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the listen and comments, Tom. Melody is my weakness so I just doubled the vocals on the chorus for effect.
