Boy And His Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pretty as a midsummer's morn'
They call her Dawn

Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Oh Dawn
Stay with him, he'll be good to you
Hang on (hang on)
Hang on to him

Think (think)
What a big man he'll be
Think of the places you'll see
Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me
Me
Dawn go away
Please go away
Although I know
I want you to stay
Dawn go away
Please go away
Baby, don't cry
It's better this way
Ah, ah, ah

Oh Dawn
Go away back where you belong
Girl we can't
Change the places where we were born
Before you say
That you want me
I want you to think (think)
What your family would say
Think (think)
What your throwing away
Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me
Me

Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn




Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn, go away

Overall Meaning

"Dawn" by Boy And His Wolf is a poignant ballad that explores the theme of societal inequality and class differences. The lyrics are peppered with a sense of melancholy and resignation, as the singer comes to terms with the fact that he is not good enough for the girl he loves, simply because of his poor background. The song begins on a high note as the singer describes Dawn as being "pretty as a midsummer's morn'". However, he quickly follows it up by acknowledging that he is no match for her and the places that she will go. He implores her to "hang on" to the man who would be "good to her" and "think what the future would be with a poor boy" like himself.


Throughout the song, the singer's sense of despair is palpable as he repeatedly asks Dawn to go away even though he deeply desires her to stay. The refrain of "Dawn go away, please go away" echoes the singer's feelings of inadequacy and the belief that he is not deserving of Dawn's affection. The song ends on a haunting note as the singer resigns himself to his fate and asks Dawn to go back to where she belongs.


Overall, "Dawn" is a powerful reflection on societal barriers and the heartbreak they can cause. It is a testament to the pervasiveness and importance of class differences and the deep-rooted impact it can have on people's lives.
