Chases me like my shadow
Slips away like the sun
60, 60, 24, 7, 31, 1, 1
Runs out like a spring tide
Fades to blue like every tattooed line
And I stand here like a statue
Watching it all go by
Watch time slip away
Watch time slip away
Let's build something necessary
That might just last the night
We'll say our prayers and light our fires
Thank God for the light
We've come such a long way now
I guess we'll see it through
There's only one person in the world I want to do that with
It's you
Maybe the world is going to Hell
And the church is just a tomb with busted bells
Or maybe, maybe, maybe
It's not as fucked as it all seems
Maybe we have everything we need
Exactly what we need
We can rage against the dying of the light
Or say our prayers and light our fires
Bring on the night
Come on, bring on the night
We've come such a long way now
I guess we'll see it through
There's only one person in the world I want to do that with
It's you
Bring on the night
We've come such a long way
There's no one in the world
There's no one in the world I'd rather
Bring on the night
