Hold Back The Dawn Lyrics

The sun was going down
Over Echo Park
Wet raven hair
Glowing in the dark
And that`s when the fever would rise
And lord what a look in her eyes
From the moment that she blows out the light
We`d be lost in the forever night

Hold back the dawn
Hold back the dawn
Won`t you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

I dreamt if I could lay you upon this bed of straw
We may break the rules but we don`t break the law
Come across but the river`s too wide
Come across but the river`s too high
Over by the fountain where we meet
I will lay silver roses at your feet

Hold back the dawn
Hold back the dawn
Won`t you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

Now I have seen a painting
Old and hanging in a frame
And that painting was of you
Now how can you explain
From another place in time
Done many years ago
Why I`m haunted by this vision
Guess we`ll never know
Then she turned and whispered in my ear
Can you feel my heart beat

Hold back the dawn
Hold back the dawn
Won`t you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

Won`t you raise
Won`t you raise up
Won`t you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

Hold back the dawn
Hold back the dawn
Won`t you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn
