(The Night Will) Bring You Back to Life
Idlewild · Post Electric Blues [2009]
You take my life away (take my life away)
You take my life away
Life away, life away, life away
To break my life away (break my life away)
To break my life away (break my life away)
To break my life away
Life away, life away, life away
And then you look into my eyes
Until I saw the night's surprise
And you saw the night's surprise
And you know that the night
Will bring you back to life
And you know that the night
Will bring you back to life
And there's a change that it might
If it won't take away your life
Then you'll know that the night
Can bring it back
It brings you back to life
You break my life away (you break my life away)
To break my life away (to break my life away)
Break my life away
Life away, life away, life away
You take my life away (you take my life away)
You take my life away (you take my life away)
You take my life away
Life away, life away, life away
And then I look into your eyes
Until I saw the night's surprise
And you saw the night's surprise
And you know that the night
Can bring you back to life
And you know that the night
Can bring you back to life
And there's a chance that it might
If it won't take away your life
Then you'll know that the night
Can bring you back
It brings you back to life
It brings you back to life (brings you back to life)
