Hold back the night
I wonder what she's doing when she's not in sight
I wonder where she's going who she holds tonight
I wonder if she's sleeping alone

And hold back the pain
I cover up the teardrops in the pouring rain
My heart has been run over by a runaway train
I wonder if she's ever alone
Let it go! let it go! let it go!

Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, she's far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
It's setting me up, and then it's kicking me down

Don't fade to grey
I wonder if she's ever coming back to stay
She's running on the edge she hit the harder way
I wonder if she's only a dream

So hold back the night
I wonder what she's doing when she's not in sight
I wonder where she's going who she holds tonight
I wonder if she's lost in a dream
Let it go! let it go! let it go!
Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, she's far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
It's setting me up, and then it's kicking me down

(instrumental)

Her love spins like a merry-go-round
Going up and down, she's far away bound
Her love - expression of vision and sound
It's setting me up, and then it's kicking me down (x2)

Hold back the night (x4)
