You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no crack in my heart
And you kneel beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me you will be alright
So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes from my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
We'll share my all
And our children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness and I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
And hold me still bury my heart on the cold
So give me hope in the darkness and I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no crack in my heart
And you kneel beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me you will be alright
So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes from my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
We'll share my all
And our children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness and I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
And hold me still bury my heart on the cold
So give me hope in the darkness and I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
