[Verse 1]
There's a rhyt
hm in rush the
se days
Where the ligh
ts don't move
and the colour
s don't fade
Leaves you emp
ty with nothin
g but dreams
In a world gon
e shallow
In a world gon
e lean
[Verse 2]
Sometimes ther
e's things a m
an cannot know
Gears won't tu
rn and the lea
ves won't grow
There's no pla
ce to run and
no gasoline
Engines won't
turn and the t
rain won't lea
ve
Engines won't
turn and the t
rain won't lea
ve
[Chorus]
I will stay wi
th you tonight
Hold you close
'til the morn
ing light
In the morning
watch a new d
ay rise
We'll do whate
ver just to st
ay alive
We'll do whate
ver just to st
ay alive
[Verse 3]
Well the way I
feel is the w
ay I write
It isn't like
the thoughts o
f the man who
lies
There is a tru
th and it's on
our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the
sun as the new
days rise
[Chorus]
And I will wai
t for you toni
ght
You're here fo
rever and you'
re by my side
I've been wait
ing all my lif
e
To feel your h
eart as it's k
eeping time
We'll do whate
ver just to st
ay alive
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Dawn is coming
open your eye
s
Dawn is coming
open your eye
s
Dawn is coming
open your eye
s
Look into the
sun as the new
days rise
[Outro]
There's a rhyt
hm in rush the
se days
Where the ligh
ts don't move
and the colour
s don't fade
Leaves you emp
ty with nothin
g but dreams
And a world go
ne shallow and
a world gone
mean
But there is a
truth and it'
s on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the
sun as a new d
ays rise
