Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come to me in my darkest hour
When the sun goes down
And the fact that I never wandered
On unfamiliar ground
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm walkin' on the wild
That can never lead me out
[Verse 3]
So I hold tight to the edge of the night
And I fight on and wait for the light
And I hold fast to the here and the now
Till the sun comes back around
[Verse 4]
How could I let so many miles
Come between our hearts?
Does it beat for the loving side
When the fighting starts
[Verse 5]
They taught me well to unleash hell
But now how to shut it down
[Verse 6]
So I hold tight to the edge of the night
And I fight on and wait for the light
And I hold fast to the here and the now
Till the sun comes back around
[Verse 7]
Thoughts of you cut through the doom
As I stand alone on this wall
And if I die, tell me, will it matter whichever side I happen to fall?
No, my dear, it won't matter at all
No, my dear, it won't matter
[Verse 8]
Thoughts that flash in the calm
That cast long shadows of doubt
No matter how far down your heart
They just spill our lives
[Verse 9]
So I hold tight to the edge of the night
And I fight on and wait for the light
And I hold fast to the here and the now
[Verse 10]
I hope that tomorrow is found
And I'm standin' here when the sun comes back around
