Holding Back the Dark
I have seen a century of loss
I have loved you in the morning
I never count the cost
It hasn't all been bad
And it will be good again
As sure as our tide goes out
It will come in again
And that's okay
I set my seal on your silhouette at dawn
I remember the feeling
It hasn't ever gone
Though all our wild young years
Like summer swifts have flown
Do you still see the boy you loved
Or a man you barely know?
I am sweating out this fever
I am holding back the dark
(Holding back the dark)
Let me lay here for a moment
Let the morning light stream in
While our daughters sleep so soundly
Let the world begin again
I am singing out my joy now
I am telling you the truth
You're a match struck in the darkness
You're a summer in full bloom
Holding back the dark
I have loved you in the morning
I never count the cost
It hasn't all been bad
And it will be good again
As sure as our tide goes out
It will come in again
And that's okay
I set my seal on your silhouette at dawn
I remember the feeling
It hasn't ever gone
Though all our wild young years
Like summer swifts have flown
Do you still see the boy you loved
Or a man you barely know?
I am sweating out this fever
I am holding back the dark
(Holding back the dark)
Let me lay here for a moment
Let the morning light stream in
While our daughters sleep so soundly
Let the world begin again
I am singing out my joy now
I am telling you the truth
You're a match struck in the darkness
You're a summer in full bloom
Holding back the dark
