《ashes of the dawn》的英文詞曲是由Emmylou Harris和Ricky Skaggs合作完成的，歌詞如下：
Oh the lost world lies inside your eyes,
Like a mossy garden waiting to arise.
It’s as if my love had a million disguises,
That hide beneath your rosy dusk and shimmering dawn.
Amidst the ashes of the dawn,
I dream of you and I,
In the stillness of the night,
When stars are shining bright.
Oh the world is a mystery,
And love is a dream that we pursue.
Oh the memories we will make,
Will forever be with me and you.
Amidst the ashes of the dawn,
I dream of you and I,
In the laughter of the day,
And the tears of our goodbyes.
Oh I will always remember,
The ashes of the dawn.
Oh I will always remember,
The love that we have known.
在這首歌中，作者通過描述早晨的灰燼，來比喻他們之間曾經的困難和挫折，但是他們仍然相信愛情的力量，並且期待著美好的未來。歌詞中還提到了他們的夢想、神秘的世界、愛情的變化以及他們將要一起做出的記憶，這些都讓人感到他們的感情是真摯而深厚的。
