You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
And broken glass, you saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside, my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from me, and we’ll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness and I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
I will hope as long as you like, just promise me we’ll be all right
So lead me back, turn south from the place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call and will 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 they gave me such a fright
But I will hope as long as you like, just promise me we’ll be all right
Hold me still, bury my heart on the coal
So give me hope in the darkness and I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like, just promise me we’ll be all right
The ghosts that we knew will flicker from me, and we’ll live a long life.
