Hold back the wave from the shore Hide every pathway to your door Count all the tears behind your eyes Go tell the dawn it's not to rise To the world, to the moon In words across the sky To the stars I scream these words out loud To the night With thoughts that tear inside He is gone, he is gone Hold back the day from the night Turn all the darkness into light Go tell the dogs they're not to bark Silence the singing of the lark He is gone And I don't know if I'll ever feel the same again He is gone But I know I never want to feel this pain again Inside again Turn back the seasons of the year Turn off the music in your ear Follow the bird that starts to fly Comfort the children as they cry
