oh city shine on tomorrow
for today i feel rain
there is a decent moon
now i lay me down in the light

my man's afraid no communication
i'm sure life in my arms ain't been free
is it a sacrifice to love me now
are you alright

will you take my hand so i'm not alone
you're the road i need to lead me home baby forever
will you be my friend will you walk with me
can we wash away the history that clouds our love
what came before surely won't be
there's a clean rain fallin' over me

i know i cried after what you told me
you said you're not sure where this love is going
why would you hesitate if you really love me now
are you alright

will you take my hand you're the road i need to lead me home forever
will you be my friend will you walk with me
can we wash away the history that clouds our love
what came before surely won't be

hey we've been running too long let's settle down
gotta keep our head above water
take a look around
how long will you wait for me
how long will you wait for me

repeat chorus
