Don't Give Up Now

As if it were subversive or dangerous In lopsided spray-painted letters On the concrete support of the train tracks Last night somebody wrote "Don't give up now" Don't give up now And it hit me like a truck, you know Oh, don't give up now Don't give up God, how I wish that the sweet earnestness of a vandal's prayer Could offer a moment's relief 'Cause you're hurting worse than a person deserves And it's almost too much to bear That you can't share the burden with me 'Cause in a blink this'll all be no more than a dream launched to daylight A little hint of a hue A blue numb in the dim glow of hindsight So let it wash, wash over you So let it wash, wash and be through But don't give up now Don't give up now Don't give up now Don't give up now It all be passed before you know So don't give up now Don't give up
