Clouds flit across the bitter sun, and ice across the sky The colder a season is, the winter in your eye And we who were so constant then, like strangers are of now Oh if we could only hold the dream, but time will not allow Hold back the night, hold back the night Hold back the night, hold back the night This endless night Hold back the night Whispers in the stillness now, the shadows through the day Like ghosts upon the water now, they drift and fade away And we who were so constant then like strangers are of now If we could only hold the dream, but time will not allow Hold back the night, hold back the night Hold back the night, hold back the night This endless night Hold back the night, hold back the night Hold back the night, hold back the night This endless night Hold back the night
