When the weight of the night is upon you
And you feel that the dawn's gone astray
When the stars have been blown out like candles
And the fair-weather moon sailed away
When hope like a friend, says he'll guide you
But he leaves you alone in the dark
With the weight of an empty promise
That was stowin' away in your heart
Don't waste your tears on the sadness
They're only clouds in your eyes
Don't look too far and you'll find me
And I bring you peace of mind
For the night is the day only sleeping
And the moon will return as the sun
I'll be here while the weight is upon you
I'll be here when the morning comes
I'll be here when the morning comes
