Hold Back The Night

hold back the night

the streets are filled with laughter

soon i'll be after

you once again

come to my house and

say we're friends

i can't help but see

gone are the days

we tripped the light fantastic

solutions more drastic

running wild

where did you go to?

my little child

i cannot help but see

fill up your days

and your pockets with plenty

soon they'll be empty

once again

someone has sent me

to you, my friend

we just can't keep on running

hold back the tide

and the waves of reason

guilty of treason

once again

stop all the seasons

the sun and the rain

until you stop believin'

turn on the lights

i cannot see where i'm running

future keeps coming
