lyrics

I could join the circus
maybe hop a train
Go someplace nobody knows me
But there ain’t no point
it all looks the same
Everywhere is equally lonely

Up against the night
and it’s coming on strong
Up against the night
it always lasts too long
And I wonder
can I keep holding on?
Up against the night
waiting on the dawn

Once I had this crazy dream
my time was almost up
and I would die before my work was accomplished
Yeah it scared me awake
so I woke you up too
And we made love
like it was my last wish

(CHORUS)

Am I only running
to keep from falling apart
a man could be forgiven for wondering
But as long as I am here
I will rage against the dark
Hold on, babe, daylight’s coming

(CHORUS)
