When dark comes creeping in
The cold air and the brittle winds
Its sound stops the grief gets old
It takes guts to fight the cold

I've gotta hand it to you
You know it's darkest before it's light
I've gotta hand it to you
You keep the long view always inside

[Chorus]
So hug me, heal me
Teach me, love me
Listen to me, just do these things
And when you're done I could pass it along again

There comes a time to sit and cry
To ask questions and wonder why
A voice inside will come to view
It lets you know just what to do

I've gotta hand it to you
You know it's darkest before it's light
I've gotta hand it to you
You keep the long view always inside

[Chorus]

It's just you, it's just me
The more things change the better we see
We do these things but do it again
We've got each other and fight to win

[Chorus]

You may
Love me
Love me
