Hold Back the Night

Hold back the night
The streets are filled with laughter
She'll not 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
Illusion's 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 believing

Turn on the light
I can't see where I'm running
(?) keeps coming
