My Love Will Not Let You Down - Ricki and the Flash

At night I go to bed but I just can't sleep I got something running around my head That just won't keep In the silence I hear my heart beating, time slippin' away I got a time bomb ticking deep inside of me I gotta tell you what I wanna say I keep searching for you, darling Searching everywhere I go And when I find you there's gonna be Just one thing that you gotta know One thing you gotta know My love will not let you down My love will not let you down At night I walk the streets looking for romance But I always end up stumbling in a half-trance I search for connection in some new eyes But they're hard for protection from too many dreams passed by I see you standing across the room Watching me without a sound Well I'm gonna push my way through that crowd I'm gonna tear all your walls down Tear all your walls down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down Well, hold still now, darling Hold still for God's sake 'Cause I got me a promise I ain't afraid to make I ain't afraid to make My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down My love will not let you down Hey

Sister Why are you weeping Alone in your grief Cause you just can't see you belong Brother Why are you running Looking for something you don't know you've had all along Mercy is closer than the breath your breathing Love will not let go Love will not let go The darkest night is light to Him He'll find you Again and again There is always hope On every broken road Just speak His name And know you're not alone Love will not let go Daughter Don't be afraid now To lift up your face Let compassion dry every tear Oh, son Drop your defenses And reach for the hands that will lift you out of your fear His arms are nearer Than your own heart beating Don't let trouble weigh your mind Don't let sorrow steal your soul God is holding your heart And He won't let go

I've seen you tearing down the highway I've seen you standing in the shade I've seen you holding a baby My love for you will not fade The wind he whispers to the golden light The wind he glances off the lake Autumn is putting up a good old fight My love for you will not fade The pen is only for the paper The ink aches for the page The water wants to be a river My love for you will not fade My love for you will not fade My love for you has not faded I won't go gentle in the deep dark night Like wind painting lace on the waves I'll roll you over in the pale moonlight My love for you will not fade Black river hotter than the July sun Wild fire on a bloodshot day When our ashes have burned to dust My love for you will not fade I wrote seven lines only seven lines Only took seven lines to send it away You wrote seven lines only seven lines Only took seven lines to send it away My love for you will not fade My love for you will not fade My love for you is not faded I've seen you tearing down the highway I've seen you standing in the shade I've seen you holding a baby
