Hold back the wave from the shore
Hide every pathway to your door
Count all the tears behind your eyes
Go tell the dawn it's not to rise

To the world, to the moon
In words across the sky
To the stars
I scream these words out loud
To the night
With thoughts that tear inside
He is gone, he is gone

Hold back the day from the night
Turn all the darkness into light
Go tell the dogs they're not to bark
Silence the singing of the lark

He is gone
And I don't know if I'll ever feel the same again
He is gone
But I know I never want to feel this pain again
Inside again

Turn back the seasons of the year
Turn off the music in your ear
Follow the bird that starts to fly
Comfort the children as they cry
