lyrics

I remember when I first surrendered
I was holding up my arms
And the night it had fallen about us
Every solider to a shelter,
Every man into his mask,
I held mine up high in the darkness.
Could I shed my second skin
And throw my costume to the wind
To sing out once again in the morning?
But when we’re standing in the doorway
There’s a shadow on the floor
That grows a silver smile before us

Cause I’ve been working on the night shift
The sun went down for days
And it won’t come up again
And I’ll be singing on that night shift
For you to hear my cries
As the night passes by

Another day, another dawn,
another evening coming on
I reached up in the night
For your answer,
But too quick the tale of time
How my face had lost its shine,
I looked into the mirror
And I couldn’t find it;
I am thirsty, give me water
Let me drink until I’m full
When the night it would break
And divide us
But there’s a fountain in the valley
There’s a light beyond the hill
That runs its solar course
To remind us

That we’re just working on the night shift
The sun went down for days
And I hope to see your face once again
And I’ll be singing on the night shift
With you by my side
A light yet abides
