lyrics

Cold clouds crowd the sun:
The light grows paler.
Grey glooms gain their ground,
Their weighty air
Threatens within this twilight,
And evening falls.

Waves crash in a rage:
A growing swell.
Wind, whipping and wild,
And far off bells
Echo within this twilight.
A broken spire
Glistens within the moonlight,
And reaches for sky.

Here in the storm,
In this night,
In this tempest, our hearts fail.
In this swarm,
We must fight
Through the tempest.

So, we sail, sail toward dawn,
Sail through night.
Past the tempest, all is bright.
Fight for love,
Fight for light,
Past the tempest, all is bright.

Let loose all the sails:
A windward blunder.
Rains rush, ocean sprays,
Your sight blurs. Wonder:
Is it the salt and madness
That’s burning your eyes?
Is it the tears and sadness
From doubts you denied?

Hold on, hold on!
There’s nothing that we can’t do together, love
In this world, and all the time,
We’ll reach out
And hold our dreams, together, love.
Hold on!
I’ll hold you when
The darkness falls, my love.
Hold on!
I’m always there,
Just don’t let go, my love.
Hold on, hold on!
We can reach out
And touch the stars together, love.
Hold on!

When I look in your eyes
And we stand side by side
I know that this love
Can live forever…
