Hold Back The Night lyrics

I walk a night beat
I walk for miles and I work hard
Eyes like a flashlight
Skimming through the alleys and the back yard
e man
I make mistakes and I lose my nerve
They try to convince me
This shield I wear will protect and serve

Wide awake each evening
I read the writing on the wall
You can`t bribe the stars
You can`t buy the moon
You can`t hold back the night
Can`t hold back the night
When the night begins to fall
When the night begins to fall

Now I live alone
And I take a drink and I lose my faith
She couldn`t take
Those sleepless nights praying I was safe

I walk a mean street
Uneasy in this uniform I wear
Sometimes I wonder
Who`s right, who`s wrong, do I even care

Wide awake each evening
I read the writing on the wall
You can`t bribe the stars
You can`t buy the moon
You can`t hold back the night
Can`t hold back the night
When the night begins to fall
When the night begins to fall

What are heroes made of
When a shadow falls across the badge
I feel the fear inside me
And holding back the night
Holding back the night
Is the only chance I have

I`m not a brave man
I make mistakes and I lose my nerve
They try to convince me
This shield I wear will protect and serve

Wide awake each evening
I read the writing on the wall
You can`t bribe the stars
You can`t buy the moon
You can`t hold back the night
Can`t hold back the night
When the night begins to fall
When the night begins to fall
