We all fear losing control of our senses. Our lives are made up of memories, and when those memories start to crumble, and fear replaces confidence, its a scary place. This song is dedicated to all of those who have dealt with a loved one who may have struggled in this way. We all do our best to make the world a less scary place.
When the Night Takes Hold
copyright 2021 Steve Smith (SOCAN)
No trail of breadcrumbs through the forest of your mind
Looking for a sign post to help you turn back time
With all of that bravado, replaced by fear and doubt
More questions than answers, things you can’t draw out
And you get so high, until you feel that cold
When the shadows move, and the night takes hold
Oh, Isn’t it a pity, how life can play cruel games?
Have to fight to remember, got to search for what remains
Memories are foundations. support the fearless act
They guide us through dark places and keep our lives intact
“B” Part
And the switch gets flipped
And the lights go on
And the night is over
And the mornings come
That’s when the weight is lifted
Warm sun’s gonna rise
New day on the horizon
Without a cloud in the sky
And you get so high, until you feel that cold
When the shadows move, and the night takes hold
When the night takes hold, you can’t push away the pain
When you’re hiding in the shadows, and running from the rain
When the night takes hold, even if you’re running fast
Can’t push away the feelings, that follow you from the past
When the night takes hold
When the night takes hold
When the night takes hold
When the night takes hold
