The sun's been up for four hours now

They've been hoping for so long

Each day the sun will rise and fall upon your eyes


Time to get up and greet the day

Ten of twelve she's on her way

Rustling through the trees, try and catch the breeze


And they need it to hold on longer

What they feel makes them stronger yeah


She checks the clock, half past twelve

Looks at him over her shoulder

She gets in the car, waves from afar


And they need it to hold on longer

What they feel makes them stronger yeah


Changing lanes, a truck rolls by

He never sees her in the mirror

She jerks the wheel

Last thing she feels is his kiss goodnight

Last thing she sees is the ambulance light


And she needs it to hold on longer

All his love makes her stronger yeah


He's at the table, telephone rings

He hears about these terrible things

All he had is no more

Time of death 12:44


And he needs her to hold on longer

As she slips away he's strong no longer yeah
