"EARLY DAWN" var i 1976 helt nye takter for NJS. Den aller første av Eigil Bergs "grande ballader" for NJS med spennende og dynamisk NJS-framførelse. Synthesizere, cembalo og stemningsfulle trommer og cymbaler bygger det hele opp nesten som en liten klassisk symfoni. Dramatisk og atmosfærisk stemning fra NJS. "EARLY DAWN" ble med ett par unntak ikke framført fra scene. 

Early Dawn

(Eigil Berg)

I never chose to play the game

I just went movin' an

But then my lady felt the same

And night would soon be dawn

As we walked barefoot down the lane

In that morning dew

There was magic in the air of the early dawn

She turned me on and on and on

To greet this brand new day

Inside the haze appeared a sun

To watch two lovers play

To make a rainbow so divine

To that love of mine

There was magic in the air of the early dawn

I never chose to play the game

I just went movin' on

But my lady felt the same

And night would soon be dawn

Then says my lady kind of shy

"All is nature you and I

And this magic in the air of the early dawn"
