Hold Back The Night
Bernie Taupin

I walk a night beat

I walk for miles and I work hard

Eyes like a flashlight

Skimming through the alleys and the back yard


E man

I make mistakes and I lose my nerve

They try to convince me

This shield I wear will protect and serve


Wide awake each evening

I read the writing on the wall

You can't bribe the stars

You can't buy the moon


You can't hold back the night

Can't hold back the night

When the night begins to fall

When the night begins to fall


Now I live alone

And I take a drink and I lose my faith

She couldn't take

Those sleepless nights praying I was safe


I walk a mean street

Uneasy in this uniform I wear

Sometimes I wonder

Who's right, who's wrong, do I even care


Wide awake each evening

I read the writing on the wall

You can't bribe the stars


You can't buy the moon


You can't hold back the night

Can't hold back the night

When the night begins to fall

When the night begins to fall


What are heroes made of

When a shadow falls across the badge

I feel the fear inside me


And holding back the night

Holding back the night

Is the only chance I have


I'm not a brave man

I make mistakes and I lose my nerve

They try to convince me

This shield I wear will protect and serve


Wide awake each evening

I read the writing on the wall

You can't bribe the stars

You can't buy the moon


You can't hold back the night

Can't hold back the night

When the night begins to fall

When the night begins to fall
