We sat on the edge
Of worlds today
The light of their sundowns
On my fate
And we're tried and true
Our souls we bare
You promised to love me
For some time
So don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Let the night time come its way
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall, your way
And carry on
Just cross the waters, I'll be okay
'Cause I've been loved, I've been loved enough today
I know your fears
Are hidden well beneath your wind
So don't be long and leave me here
Let me belong
Let me belong
In darkness we rise
At twilight we sway
Only then do we feel alive
The verve we once had
Lies in the bay
I hear it yelling for our lives
So don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Let the night time come its way
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall, your way
And carry on
Just cross the waters, I'll be okay
'Cause I've been loved, I've been loved enough today
I know your fears
Are hidden well beneath your wind
So don't be long and leave me here
Let me belong
Let me belong
(Don't you let me fall)
(So don't you let me fall)
(Let the night time come its way)
And carry on
Just cross the waters, I'll be okay
'Cause I've been loved, I've been loved enough today
I know your fears
Are hidden well beneath your wind
So don't be long and leave me here
Let me belong
Let me belong
Laisse-moi appartenir
