Lyric

Like crossing over a river of black

The asphalt under my feet is swaying back

The shadow of yesterday clinging to your spine

Is like a peeling poster, losing its line

The streetlights are lighters with a dying spark

Searching for a flame out here in the dark

The gloom hiding deep in the back of your eyes

Is like wet piano keys under rainy skies

Before the night flows away and is gone

Spit it all out, don't wait for the dawn

The moon is watching us, silent and gray

Like it’s the only friend coming our way

Cry if you want to, just let it flow

Shout into the night wind, let it all go

If you can smile, let’s walk side by side

We can go anywhere with nowhere to hide

Guitar case leaning on the guardrail steel

Mouth open wide, forgot how a song should feel

You dropped your voice somewhere back on the track

And we don't have time to go and fetch it back

The railroad crossing is a red knife’s blade

Cutting through the night and the choices we made

The fire smoldering deep in your chest

Turns into smoke and disappears like the rest

Before the night flows away and is gone

Spit it all out, don't wait for the dawn

The moon is watching us, silent and gray

Like it’s the only friend coming our way

Cry if you want to, just let it flow

I’ll stay with you 'til the morning starts to show

If you can smile, let’s walk side by side

Trading stupid stories as the shadows slide

If you trip and fall, I’ll lend you my hand

Wash the mud off your knees in this rain-soaked land

Until you’re ready to start walking again

I’ll stay right here, through the thick and the thin

Cry if you want to, just let it flow

Shout in the corner of this town we know

If you can smile, let’s walk side by side

Our own morning is coming with the turning tide

Ah, getting through this damn stupid night

We’ll keep on walking toward the light

It’s okay to fall down time and again

Because I’m right here by your side, my friend
