lyrics

I have seen a century of loss.
I have loved you in the morning
(I never count the cost).
It hasn’t all been bad
and it will be good again.
As sure as our tide goes out,
it will come in again.
And that’s okay.

I set my seal on your silhouette at dawn.
I remember the feeling —
it hasn’t ever gone,
though all our wild young years
like summer swifts have flown.
Do you still see the boy you loved
or a man you barely know?

I am sweating out this fever.
I am holding back the dark.

Let me lay here for a moment.
Let the morning light stream in
while our daughters sleep so soundly.
Let the world begin again.
I am singing out my joy now.
I am telling you the truth:
you’re a match struck in the darkness;
you’re a summer in full bloom,
holding back the dark.
