Band The Hold Back The Dawn Lyrics

Hold Back The Dawn Lyrics

The sun was going down

 Over echo park

 Wet raven hair

 Glowing in the dark

 And that's when the fever would rise

 And lord what a look in her eyes

 From the moment that she blows out the light

 We'd be lost in the forever night

 

 Chorus:

 Hold back the dawn

 Hold back the dawn

 Won't you raise up your hand

 And hold back the dawn

 

 I dreamt if i could lay you upon this

 Bed of straw

 We may break the rules but we don't

 Break the law

 Come across but the river's too wide

 Come across but the river's too high

 Over by the fountain where we meet

 I will lay silver roses at your feet

 

 Chorus

 

 Now i have seen a painting

 Old and hanging in a frame

 And that painting was of you

 Now how can you explain

 From another place in time

 Done many years ago

 Why i'm haunted by this vision

 Guess we'll never know

 Then she turned and whispered in my ear

 Can you feel my heart beat

 

 Chorus

 

 Won't you raise

 Won't you raise up

 Won't you raise up your hand

 And hold back the dawn

 

 Chorus
