Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill

Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun the world has ended my baby's gone

I'll wake up almost every night and realize you're gone

I'll toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn

I try to tell my lonely heart we'll make it alone

But it cries the world has ended oh my baby's gone

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill

Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun

Don't they know the world has ended my baby's gone

Don't they know the world has ended oh my baby's gone
