No sense in admitting I'm weary from the wait

No sense in pretending that I'm pressing on the gate

No power in a promise that I can find the cause

All it takes are a few mistakes so how can I be sure

What if I fall, what happens next

What if my foundation was a thought out of context

No power in a process that leaves me in the dark

So I'll just go with what I know

It's written on my heart


[Pre-Chorus]

But though it's late in the day


[Chorus]

I know I'll find my way soon

Show me a place in the sun

Cause somewhere on the journey

Is the strength to go on

So let the dark fade

Show me a break in the cloud

Cause every day I'm waiting

Brings me one degree down

No shame in admitting I feel a little scared

No sense in pretending that I'll know before I'm there

No power in a promise with no authority

All it takes are a few mistakes before I'm lost at sea


[Pre-Chorus]

But though it's late in the day


[Chorus]

I know I'll find my way soon

Show me a place in the sun

Cause somewhere on the journey

Is the strength to go on

So let the dark fade

Show me a break in the cloud

Cause every day I'm waiting

Brings me one degree down

I feel this inclination

Leading me to doubt my destination

I used up all my patience all the time

I waited at the station

I don't want to break my sky

I'm not going to come back down

I don't want to lose my mind

I'm too far gone to turn back now

I can't avoid the feeling

Maybe all the signs could be misleading

With all my senses reeling

When I saw my dreams all hit the ceiling

I don't want to break my sky

I'm not going to come back down

I don't want to lose my mind

I'm too far gone to turn back now


[Guitar/Keyboard Solo]

Can't turn back now

No need for reflecting on why it took so long

No need for rejecting this road I'm walking on

No point reminiscing on things I can't repair

All it takes are a few good breaks and suddenly I'm there


[Pre-Chorus]

But though it's late in the day


[Chorus]

I know I'll find my way soon

Show me a place in the sun

Cause somewhere on the journey

Is the strength to go on

So let the dark fade

Show me a break in the cloud

Cause every day I'm waiting

Brings me one degree down


[Chorus]

Find my way soon

Show me a place in the sun

Cause somewhere on the journey

Is the strength to go on

So let the dark fade

Show me a break in the cloud

Cause every day I'm waiting

Brings me one degree down
