lyrics

The cold dawn
We were standing there in the rain
The twilight
had/is faded and gone away

But we fought on
When the dreams had fallen astray
Give ‘em back or give ‘em up
But don’t give ‘em away

Hey now
We’ve all been too naive
But when it comes around
The feeling still grows

Hold on to my heart
Hold on to my name
When this feeling turns to anger and it’s all slipping away
Leaving me here on a long night dark and cold
Don’t leave me alone

Hope on
When you're dreaming a brand new day
The old times (the daylight)
Made it too hard to carry the weight

But we fight on
When the dreams are falling away
Give ‘em back or give ‘em up
But don’t give ‘em away

Hey now
We all need some time to grieve
But when it comes around
The feeling still grows

Hold on to my to heart
Hold on to my name
When this feeling turns to anger and it’s all slipping away
Leaving me here on a long night dark and cold
Don’t leave me alone
