[Instrumental Intro] [Piano and Clean Guitar Arpeggios] [Soprano Saxophone melody] [Verse 1] The frost is forming on the glass Watching the silent hours pass You trace the lines upon your hand Trying to understand The shadows stretch across the floor You don't want to fight it anymore But I am standing by your side With nothing left to hide [Pre-Chorus] (Building tension, drums kick in) Don't turn your face away from the light Don't surrender into the night The silence screams what we can't say Don't throw it all away [Chorus] (Soaring, Melodic, High Tenor, Open and Bright) Just give us one more hour Before the sun goes down We'll find the strength and power To turn this world around The winter wind is cold But there's a story left untold So stay... Don't fade away [Verse 2] (Bass heavy, melodic guitar fills) You say you're tired of the pain Running in circles in the rain But there is logic in the fear That keeps you staying here The calendar is on the wall Waiting for the hammer to fall But I can stop the hands of time If you give me a sign [Chorus] (Anthemic, Backing Harmonies) Just give us one more hour Before the sun goes down We'll find the strength and power To turn this world around The winter wind is cold But there's a story left untold So stay... Don't fade away [Bridge] [Tempo Change - Slower, Emotional] I know the journey's been so long I know you think that you are gone But look at me and breathe again This is not the end! [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, Shredding but slow, High sustain, Petrucci Style] [Saxophone Solo] [Smooth Jazz fusion style, interplay with guitar] [Chorus] (Grand finale, very high vocals, Epic) Just give us one more hour Before the sun goes down We'll find the strength and power To turn this world around The winter wind is cold But there's a story left untold So stay... Don't fade away! [Outro] [Fade out with Piano and Saxophone soloing] (Stay with me...) (Just another hour...)
