Lyrics

When the night wears thin you take me in, my pillow
When the fabric of the world is frayed and torn
Oh I cling to you, I need you more than you know
Cause you're the place where all my dreams are born

When the day grows cold it's you I hold, my pillow
When the story winds its way down to a close
Still I talk to you, I open up my windows
The part of me only my pillow knows

These are hard times, Love
These are hard times, Love
And I'm falling down but I won't break tonight
Oh pillow my heart's tucked in tight

When our time runs out
You'll hear me shout, my pillow
And I'll turn to you with tears upon my face
I'll say goodnight, but I won't ever let go
The things we need the most we can't replace

These are hard times, Love
These are hard times, Love
And I'm falling down but I won't break tonight
Oh pillow my heart's tucked in
Oh pillow my heart's tucked in
Oh pillow my heart's tucked in tight

When the night wears thin
You take me in, my pillow...
