Morning is a long way down

Wrap your arms around me
And hold me close to your light
I´m too weak for flying tonight
I´ve been running all nighttime
Trying to hide from the hounds
And morning is a long way down
I was always the strongest
So young and so fast
I was always sure that it would last
And now I´m stuck here at midnight
And there´s cliffs all around
And morning is a long way down
I never ask the hard questions
I never try to transform
I was always just waiting to be born
But now the sun´s tied with night-chains
Like Prometheus, bound
And morning is a long way down
So wrap your arms around me
And hold me close to your light
I´m too weak for flying tonight
But I don´t care about nighttime
Or the light that is gone
If you´ll just hold me ´til dawn
And hold me close to your light
I´m too weak for flying tonight
I´ve been running all nighttime
Trying to hide from the hounds
And morning is a long way down
I was always the strongest
So young and so fast
I was always sure that it would last
And now I´m stuck here at midnight
And there´s cliffs all around
And morning is a long way down
I never ask the hard questions
I never try to transform
I was always just waiting to be born
But now the sun´s tied with night-chains
Like Prometheus, bound
And morning is a long way down
So wrap your arms around me
And hold me close to your light
I´m too weak for flying tonight
But I don´t care about nighttime
Or the light that is gone
If you´ll just hold me ´til dawn
