lyrics

Once we rushed towards every bright new day
Nights were only shadows to dispatch
Calendar pages swept away
And a future we'd never catch...


We've lit the lamps, the curtains are drawn
Now we'll throw our bodies, a blockade against the dawn
By this time tomorrow you'll be gone.

We fattened the moon, then we moved for the kill
People will try anything to make tides and time stand still
By this time tomorrow all my tears will spill.

Starlight may surrender to the daylight
The nightingale relieved to meet the lark
But you and I were made to go down fighting
We're holding our positions in the dark.

Each day, each moment we're shown
Each passing hour we may borrow, never own
By this time tomorrow I'll be here alone.

The starlight may surrender to the daylight
The nightingale relieved to meet the lark
But you and I, we were made to go down fighting
Holding our positions in the dark.

Oh you can't rouse the night once it's slumped in its chair
The pale moon turns her face; distant stars, they don't care
By this time tomorrow their cold light shines on despair
Tomorrow, if you're not there
By this time tomorrow, if you're not there.
