Glen Burtnick: Hold back the night [lyrics]

Glen Burtnick

Hold back the night

She got away quick

She always leaves them guessing

The first time it's a trick

The second time it's a lesson

I've got the rest of my life

To get over her now

And I sit all alone in my room

Wondering how

Hold back the night

There's no place that's safe to go

Hold back the night

Take it away

Turn out the light

It's getting too hard to see

This darkness is killing me

Hold back the night

Don't want to sleep

Don't want to dream

Got nothing to say

About the things I have seen

I've got the rest of my life

I'm holding tight

All I need right now is a little more time

So hold back the night

There's no place that's safe to go

Hold back the night

Take it away

Turn out the light

It's getting too hard to see

This darkness is killing me

Hold back the night

'Cause the shadows are holding me

And all I can hear is the beat of a heart

All I can see is the daylight slipping away

Slipping away

I've got the rest of my life

I'll do alright

Oh

Hold back the night

There's no place that's safe to go

Hold back the night

Take it away

Turn out the light

It's getting too hard to see

This darkness is killing me

Hold back the night

Hold back the night

Oh

Hold back the night

I've got the rest of my life

Hold back the night

Yeah

Hold back the night
