Hold Back The Dawn Letra

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 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 Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn 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 Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn Won't you raise Won't you raise up Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn
