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
