Hold Back The Dawn lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Hold Back The Dawn lyrics The sun was going down Over Echo Park Wet raven hair Glowing in the dark And that s when the fever would rise And lord what a look in her eyes From the moment that she blows out the light We d be lost in the forever night Chorus: Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won t you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn I dreamt if I could lay you upon this bed of straw We may break the rules but we don t break the law Come across but the river s too wide Come across but the river s too high Over by the fountain where we meet I will lay silver roses at your feet Chorus Now I have seen a painting Old and hanging in a frame And that painting was of you Now how can you explain From another place in time Done many years ago Why I m haunted by this vision Guess we ll never know Then she turned and whispered in my ear Can you feel my heart beat Chorus Won t you raise Won t you raise up Won t you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn Chorus song lyrics
