Now Comes the Night

(Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20)

(simply, beyond words....)

 

When the hour is upon us

And our beauty surely gone

No you will not be forgotten

And you will not be alone

No you will not be alone.

 

And when the day has all but ended

And our echo starts to fade

No you will not be alone then

And you will not be afraid

No you will not be afraid.

 

When the fog has finally lifted

From my cold and tired brow

No I will not leave you crying

No I will not let you down

No I will not let you down.

 

I will not let you down.

 

Now comes the night

Feel it fading away

And the soul underneath

Is it all that remains

So just slide over here

Leave your fear in the fray

Let us hold to each other

'Til the end of our days.

 

When the hour is upon us

And our beauty surely gone

No you will not be forgotten

And you will not be alone

No you will not be alone.
