Let it slide away and lay to rest
All that keeps you from your sleep
Oh, don't say "nothing"
We belong here in this wilderness
With the stars beneath our feet
And as time goes on
We can breathe in our love
As time goes on
All is clean again
In the light
In the light
Just like it was that summer
We stumbled through the rain
And danced away
The emptiness again
And Mommy says she loves you
While Daddy walks away
You're turning back
With nothing left to say
But "I'm alone
Oh, I'm alone
Oh, I, I'm alone
I just feel so alone"
You said something to believe in
Cold emotion, empty ceiling
You see what they don't deliver
Soaking sinners in the river
You believed in all their lessons
Broken hearts and lost confessions
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
Take my hand and hold me
In the light
In the light
Oh
As time goes on
We can breathe in our love
As time goes on
All is clean again
As time goes on
We can breathe in our love
As time goes on
All is clean again
