Hold Me Through The Quiet

[Lyrics] I've watched the morning break a thousand times before But nothing ever looked the way it does with you The city's still asleep, the curtains softly close And every breath you take is all I want to know I don't need the stars to tell me where I am I don't need a reason or a promised land Just the weight of your hand on mine Just the quiet between the lines So stay, just stay Don't let the dawn come pull us apart I've waited all my life to feel this kind of dark Where nothing else exists but here, but now Hold me through the quiet, show me how The world outside can keep on turning on its own I've found a place where I don't have to be alone Your voice is the only song I need to hear A melody that brings me close enough to near So stay, just stay Don't let the dawn come pull us apart I've waited all my life to feel this kind of dark Where nothing else exists but here, but now Hold me through the quiet, show me how (Bridge: Voice drops to a whisper, almost spoken) There's a light in the hallway, a key in the door But I don't want to move, I don't want to go Not when the night is still saying your name Not when the silence feels exactly the same As love... (Final Chorus: Voice soars, full and aching) So stay, just stay Don't let the dawn come steal this away I've waited all my life for a love that won't decay Where nothing else exists but here, but now Hold me through the quiet... somehow... (Outro: Voice fades to a breath) Just stay... With me... Through the quiet... (Final piano chord. Brush sweep. Silence.)
