Keep the Darkness Away - Joshua Radin

You were there from the start

Right when I came apart

You picked me up and helped me find

All I left behind

I was bloodied and beat

I couldn’t stand on my feet

And I stared into the blackened morning sky

Wondering why

How could you see all that I could be

When I stood there naked and torn?

You’re the only one that never thought to run

Though I flood you with poison and scorn

Don’t know why you stay

But you keep the darkness away

All the world had me down

I tried to swim but I drowned

So I got down on my knees and began to pray

But I heard you say

«I know this wasn’t your plan

Open your eyes, here’s my hand.»

That early road you chose to take

Was your mistake

'Cause baby, I see all that you could be

As you stand there naked and torn

I’m the only one who never thought to run

Though you flood me with poison and scorn

Forever here I’ll stay

To keep your darkness away

We’re a pocket watch without any hands

No one could ever know what we begin to try

But I’ll keep holding on 'til your love is won

'Cause baby I see all that you could be

As you stand there naked and torn

I’m the only one who never thought to run

Though you flood me with poison and scorn

Forever here I’ll stay

To keep your darkness away

Forever here I’ll stay

I’ll keep the darkness away
