Before Dawn Shelter

Shadows stretch across the bedroom floor

Tracing paths of things we never said before

Quiet hours, the world has gone to sleep

Leaving us with promises to keep

Whispered secrets on a wooden frame

Every breath is calling out your name

Let the dark protect us from the cold

These are stories only we will hold

Can we make this midnight last forever?

Hold the hands of time to keep us here together (oh together)

Before the morning sun begins to rise

Let me stay inside your quiet eyes

Watch the clock, the ticking fades away

We don't need

the light of coming day

Every heartbeat writes a brand new page

On this silent, solitary stage

If the dawn comes breaking through the glass

Promise me this feeling will not pass (don't let it pass) Keep

the secrets we shared in the dark

Can we make this midnight last forever?

Hold the hands of time to keep us here together (stay together)

Before the morning sun begins to rise

Let me stay inside your quiet eyes

Stay inside your eyes... (shhh...)
