In the cold of winter my sweet love passed through the gate
And every night since she comes to me and always stay late
And I’m still in love with her but heavy with knowing our fate...
..that morning is coming it’s useless to fight
Cause she will be gone with the first ray of light
I pray to the night to keep out the day
But morning still takes her, morning still takes her, takes her away
We dance on the thin edge of time between night and day
It’s a fools paradise but I want it all to stay
She whispers to me and I can’t contain my hearts scream
So hold off the light, my enemy sun
Just one shaft of daylight and I’ll be undone
I pray to the night to keep out the day
But morning still takes her, morning still takes her, takes her away
She melts in my arms like the first flake of winter’s caress
And she parts the crowd spinning in her silver dress
And we’re laughing and crying and oh how I’m now a mess
Cause morning is coming it’s useless to fight
Cause she will be gone with the first ray of light
I pray to the night to keep out the day
But morning still takes her, morning still takes her, (x2) takes her away
