Stay With Me Tonight

The streets were dust and broken glass Night was falling way too fast Sirens echo through the square You were standing silent there Every window closed in fear Every voice was hard to hear But your eyes held something warm Like a fire inside the storm While the city learned to fear the night Your hand found mine in fading light Hold me in the falling fire Stay with me a little longer While the whole world turns to silence Your heartbeat pulls me closer Stay with me, stay with me tonight Even if the sky is breaking In the dark, in the flashing lights You’re the life the war is taking Names were written on the walls Every day another call Every train that left the line Took a thousand dreams with time Letters hidden in my coat Words we never dared to quote Every whisper after dark Left another fragile spark While the world was tearing at the seams You were still inside my dreams Hold me in the falling fire Stay with me a little longer While the whole world turns to silence Your heartbeat pulls me closer Stay with me, stay with me tonight Even if the sky is breaking In the dark, in the flashing lights You’re the life the war is taking Maybe love was never meant For a time like this But your voice is the one place War can’t reach If tomorrow pulls us far Through the smoke and through the scars Every step I’ll hear your name Inside the flame Hold me in the falling fire Stay with me a little longer While the whole world turns to silence Your heartbeat pulls me closer Stay with me, stay with me tonight Even if the sky is breaking In the dark, in the flashing lights You’re the life the war is taking
