Lyrics

Breaking Night (for Debbie) Nanci Hobson September 2013

The day you left I watched for snow
Thought, it won't be long the roads will close
I'll have to stay home
I built a fire...put things away...
And when it finally got too late
I went to bed alone.
Now that January's turned September
Time to roll away the stone...

If I could.....go back in time
I'd get in my car..... I would drive
be at your door .....before you had a chance to say no
we'd hit the beach, the shops, the bars,
watch old movies and shooting stars,
yea, we'd do it all...
wouldn't bring you back again...should've followed you instead
every night and every breath ... I'm one more step closer...
Out on...(out on...out on..)The edge again
Turn on...(turn on...turn on...)the light again...
No more (no more) sleeping now (sleeping now)
I'm breaking night...........I'm breaking night.

I miss the way the phone would ring at two a.m.
You'd be calling, wide awake and sitting up in bed
Now it's dreams that call on me and wake me up
then they bring... all the ghosts out of my head
in the dreams ...the rain is falling...and I am soaking wet
Out on...(out on...out on..)The edge again
Turn on...(turn on...turn on...)the light again...
No more (no more) sleeping now (sleeping now)
I'm breaking night...........
I'm breaking....night...................
Out on...(out on...out on..)The edge again
Turn on...(turn on...turn on...)the light again...
No more (no more) sleeping now (sleeping now)
I'm breaking night...........I'm breaking night.


L'hitraot....my friend....in the dawn. ( Leh-hee-trah-awt)
