The Passing Light of Day (逝去的光亮) - Pain of Salvation

Written by：Daniel Gildenlöw/Ragnar Solberg Rafnsson

Though life has worn us down

Through sun and rain

Your eyes are still the same

Deep blue against all grey

Love don't be afraid

They seem to say

I'll be here for you all the way

My lover

My best friend

Do you remember us

That first January

You had just turned nineteen

And I was to be twenty

We fed on politics and poetry

Two children fueled by unbroken dreams

You're watching me slowly slip away

Like the passing light of day

Watching the colors turn to grey

Like the passing light of day

The passing light of day

Better burn out they say

Then fade away

Some candles last an hour

And others one full day

But I I wanna be like the sun

That steady flame that burns on

And on

And still

You're watching me slowly slip away

Like the passing light of day

We're watching the colors turning grey

In the passing light

A lifetime since we met

That January

Two young kids feeding on politics

And poetry

Running on dreams

Ending theme

Empires have fallen

Nations have been born

The heroes of our childhood

Dead forgotten or gone

But we still stand

All those times that I went away

All those times that I couldn't stay

Wish that I could give them back

Wish that I could give them back

All those times that I failed on you

All those times that I turned on you

Wish that I could take them back

Wish that I could take them back

Cos all those times are still here today

All those times they still hurt today

All those moments return today

All those times of another day

You're watching me slowly slip away

Like the passing light of day

Watching our colors turning grey

Like the passing light of day

I need something new

If I could start anew

Would it be the same

I need something new

To feel whole again

If I only knew

I will see this through

I need something new

Take me home again

If I only knew

All those people who worried us

All those things that were hurting us

None of that can reach me now

None of that can reach me now

All the darkness we thought about

All those things that we fought about

None of that can touch me now

None of that can touch me now

Cos that matters is here today

All the thoughts that I think today

Every word that we say today

Every second alive today

We're all burning out fading away

Like the passing light of day

We are watching the colors turning grey

In the passing light of day

We may wish we could run

Just walk away

From this passing light of day

But at some point we needed to stop

And say

It's OK

It's OK

My love don't be afraid

I hear you say

I'll be here for you all the way

And I just wish that I could smile and say

Baby hey

I'm in too much pain to feel afraid

My lover

My best friend

Lover

Best friend

I'm watching it slowly slip away

Like the passing light of day

Watching the colors turning gray

In the passing light of day

And although I wish

That I could stay

It somehow strangely feels OK

It is what it is

I'll find my way

Through this passing light
