The night comes in slow
And the water is getting cold
The evening rain will wash away, the embers and the smoke
And the night sky, tells me I should go
But oh
The air goes to my head
I know I should walk away
But not yet
So I will hold you close
One last time before the darkness falls
And you will keep your hope
Even if in the end, it only burns you out
It burns you out
The sun breaks in waves, and when I'm older
And my mind fades, I hope I still remember
All these days, looking silent to the stars
And thinking we had found our place
And oh, it's not easy
When you're blinded by your past
It's hard to know where you should be
So I will hold you close
One last time before the darkness falls
And you will keep your hope
Even if in the end, it only burns you out
It burns you out
It burns you out, and all that you save
A shelf of broken memories
That we cannot replace
It's time to chase these ghosts back to their grave
I wish that I could say
That I will hold you close
One last time before the darkness falls
And you will keep your hope
Even if in the end, it only burns you out
Even if in the end, It burns you out
