Lyrics
VERSE 1
So long my old friend
Thought I'd see you again and again
Night after night it's always the same
This pain never goes away
CHORUS
But when the dawn comes it brings new light
And the darkness of night can't keep me from sight
And the power is with me to keep me keepn' on
And the weight of the world feels like one less ton
VERSE 2
Your voice your scent the touch of your hand
I lost them all unplanned
You left me so un-atoned
On the shores of happiness wading alone
CHORUS
But when the dawn comes it brings new light
And the darkness of night can't keep me from sight
And the power is with me to keep me keepn' on
And the weight of the world feels like one less ton
VERSE 3
Pickin' up the pieces you left behind
Dealin' with the memories and what they remind
I'd do my best to carry on
As life unfolds what lies beyond
CHORUS
But when the dawn comes it brings new light
And the darkness of night can't keep me from sight
And the power is with me to keep me keepn' on
And the weight of the world feels like one less ton
