Holding on fast to a memory Digging my heels to the ground Buried my head in the sand - didn't hear a sound Hoping like hell just to hang on Slipping away in the tide Trying to run from the truth but there's no where to hide When it suddenly falls in a heartbeat And a savior is nowhere in sight When my world is crashing around me Will the dark ever turn into light? When hope is gone, the show is done - the curtain falls The nights descends, it never ends - it just moves on All my emotions are dying Falling away into dust Feeling the river of tears turn my heart into rust Now this plane's coming down in a nosedive And the engine is suddenly cold And I'm slipping right under the radar Will I ever find something to hold? When hope is gone, the show is done - the curtain falls The nights descends, it never ends - it just moves on When hope is gone, the show is done Up all night long When all goes wrong And I'll never know what to do When hope is gone, the show is done - the curtain falls The nights descends, it never ends - it just moves on
