Wrap your arms around me
|
And hold me close to your light
|
I'm too weak for flying tonight
|
I've been running all nighttime
|
Trying to hide from the hounds
|
And morning is a long way down
|
|
I was always the strongest
|
So young and so fast
|
I was always sure that it would last
|
And now I'm stuck here at midnight
|
And there's cliffs all around
|
And morning is a long way down
|
|
I never ask the hard questions
|
I never try to transform
|
I was always just waiting to be born
|
But now the sun's tied with night-chains
|
Like Prometheus, bound
|
And morning is a long way down
|
|
So wrap your arms around me
|
And hold me close to your light
|
I'm too weak for flying tonight
|
But I don't care about nighttime
|
Or the light that is gone
|
If you'll just hold me 'til dawn
|
|

Morning Is A Long Way Down
