Truly Beautiful Thing Lyrics by Mark Duggan

Just for the Night

0

[Verse 1]
We live in the shadow of previous sins
Before you know where you are you're too far in
And the tallest point in town is always under God's hand
He took you in for a lifetime giving his command
But you grew up and you are out lost a child for a rainbow
Now you're left in a time you don't even know
[Chorus]
You hold this baby
You hold him tight
He's a truly perfect thing but that's no surprise
Your time is running out
Your light is dim but that's alright
There's a beautiful sun rise in his eyes
[Verse 2]
He carries his secrets so nobody can see
But everyone around this place says he looks a lot like me
He goes to work til it kills him and never really complains
It takes another day from him then makes him do it again
But he says he's got himself an nice life better than what might've been
And he swears that her dark brown eyes are the best he's ever seen
[Chorus]
He holds her closely
For another night
She's a truly perfect thing but that's no surprise
He's getting older now
But he doesn't seem to feel the time
There's a beautiful world hanging right in her eyes
[Bridge]
I can remember you smiling and saying isn't it fun
To be in the company of somebody who makes you feel like someone
That little bit of heaven come crawling up near
Then you disappeared through the door and you left me standing here
Well I'm walking with no direction I hear some friends are out tonight
I might meet them I might not either way I'll be alright
Until I come home to this dream that my heart can never stand
You say that it's time we left it and you let go of my hand
[Outro]
And there's not even a whisper
Coming across the night
It's just me again and I'm not really surprised
I'm getting older now
And I'm my father's son alright
I go running
Running through the dark to find
That beautiful sunrise that I know is in somebody's eyes
