Here in the dark the dusty light is fading

The lonely night of waiting

Is passing the point and missing the mark

Be the light or love will fade away

Be the light or love will fade away

Here in the shade the leaves of change are
falling down

Slowly trying to reach the ground

To touch the earth and turn around

Be the light or love will fade away

Be the light or love will fade away

Out of the darkness

Suddenly my body can take a breath

I'm coming out of the darkness

Finally my soul can take a rest

Here in the light a lazy mist is lifting

And the sands of time are slowly shifting

Into the glass with the hours that pass

Be the light or love will fade away

Be the light or love will fade away

Out of the darkness

Suddenly my body can take a breath

I'm coming out of the darkness

Finally my soul can take a rest
