I take my hopes out to sea at night And the stars all tag along I can see you falling through my dreams In the night before the dawn I'm holding on to some hopeless dream When I know that you are gone But I can feel your love holding me In the night before the dawn Then the sunlight comes to close my eyes And the birds sing their song But I've never seen the world so bright As the night before the dawn There are days when I could live or die When I'm barely hanging on Knowing you will never lie with me In the night before the dawn I see the beauty in the darkest night In the cold, collected calm And I see your face looking into mine The night before the dawn Yes I see your face looking into mine The night before the dawn
