Lyrics

Coming ’round again
It seems so long
Since I’ve seen your light
Can’t wait to feel your warmth

Though we’re kept apart
And that may be wise
I’m just glad you’re back
So we can end this night

But before I know
It’s the morning’s rise
I get pulled away
Pushed to the other side

Then when it’s dark its calm
I’ve never felt so safe
Like I could shake these skies
Held in your strong embrace

Now we move as one
Turning time to stone
So serene we dive
Through the great unknown

But still you make me glow
You bring the world to life
We’re coming ’round again
It’s the same each time

Somehow you spin me out
But I come right back in
Just waiting for the day
The day the light goes dim
