Hold Back The Dawn Lyrics - Robbie Robertson

The sun was going down 

Over Echo Park 

Wet raven hair 

Glowing in the dark 

And that's when the fever would rise 

And lord what a look in her eyes 

From the moment that she blows out the light 

We'd be lost in the forever night 

Hold back the dawn (yes) 

Hold back the dawn 

Won't you raise up your hand 

And hold back the dawn

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I dreamt if I could lay you upon this bed of straw 

And we may break the rules but we don't break the law 

Come across but the river's too wide 

I'd come across but the river's too high 

And over by the fountain where we meet 

I will lay silver roses at your feet 

Hold back the dawn 

Hold back the dawn 

Won't you raise up your hand 

And hold back the dawn 

Now I have seen a painting 

Old and hanging in a frame 

And that painting was of you 

Now how can you explain 

From another place in time 

Done many years ago 

Why I'm haunted by this vision 

Guess we'll never know 

And then she turned and whispered in my ear 

Can you feel my heartbeat

Hold back the dawn 

Hold back the dawn 

Won't you raise up your hand 

And hold back the dawn 

(Let the night go on, let the night go on, let the night go on) 

Won't you raise 

Won't you raise up 

Won't you raise up your hand 

And hold back the dawn 

Hold back the dawn 

Won't you raise up your hand 

And hold back the dawn 

(Let the night go on and on and on) 

(Through the dark and then through the heat) 

Thought someone was moving with a savage grace 

Got that main all over her face 

She was movin to the pagan beat 

Through the dust and through the heat
