Hold the Dawn Close (versione 2)

Verse

Blinds cut stripes across the floor

Grey light climbs the wall so slow

Your breath still fogs the window glass

I trace the shape before it goes

Pre-Chorus

We watch the numbers turn to blue

We count the stripes instead of hours

Nobody's reaching for the switch

We hold the room the way it was

Chorus

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

Verse

Fan spins slow above the bed

Ceiling shadows drag their feet

Your fingers curl around the sheet

Street noise starts to find the street

Pre-Chorus

We watch the numbers turn to blue

We count the stripes instead of hours

Nobody's reaching for the switch

We hold the room the way it was

Chorus

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

Bridge

Light finds the curve of your cheek

I keep my eyes closed anyway

Sun climbs slow but I don't move

A little longer, a little longer

Chorus

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

I hold the dawn close

Outro

Stripes dissolve into the white

I hold the dawn close

Hands stay where they lie
