Up Against the Night Songtext
von Mark Erelli

I could join the circus maybe hop a train go someplace nobody knows me
But there ain′t no point it all looks the same
Everywhere is equally lonely
Up against the night and it's coming on strong
Up against the night it always lasts too long
And I wonder
Can I keep holding on?
Up against the night waiting on the dawn
Once I had this crazy dream my time was almost up
And I would die before my work was accomplished Yeah it scared me awake so I woke you up too
And we made love like it was my last wish
Up against the night it always lasts too long
And I wonder
Can I keep holding on?
Up against the night waiting on the dawn
Am I only running to keep from falling apart
A man could be forgiven for wondering
But as long as I am here I will rage against the dark
Hold on, babe, daylight′s coming


Up against the night it always lasts too long
And I wonder
Can I keep holding on?
Up against the night waiting on the dawn
