"Hold the Dawn

Streetlights flicker as the night wears thin,

Walking slow where the silence begins.

Your coat pulled tight against the winter air,

Words we don't say hanging everywhere.

If the morning comes too soon again,

I'd steal the hours just to stay the same.

Hold the dawn a little longer now,

Keep the dark from pulling us down.

In this quiet, we still know how,

To hold the dawn... before it's gone.

Footsteps echo on the empty road,

Carrying the weight of stories untold.

Your breath in clouds, a fleeting sign,

That time still bends when your hand meets mine.

If the light could wait outside the door,

I'd lock it out and ask for more.

Hold the dawn a little longer now,

Keep the dark from pulling us down.

In this quiet, we still know how,

To hold the dawn... before it's gone.

Oh, the world can turn without regret,

But here we're standing, not ready yet.

One more minute, one more breath,

Before the day steals what is left.

Hold the dawn a little longer now,

Keep the dark from pulling us down.

In this quiet, we still know how,

To hold the dawn... hold the dawn.

Hold... the dawn.
