Andrew Peterson - You Came So Close lyrics

You could no more k** the darkness Than you could raise the sun And the sky was cold and black Like the barrel of a gun And I remember the tremble In the words you spoke As you balanced there on the brink At the end of your rope You came so close to letting go And you knew she would hate you She would kick you out You'd been lying in the bed that you made When you broke your vow Then you work in the wasteland Of the truth you told And you turned to see she stayed, She was bright as a band of gold You came so close to letting go So don't let go, 'cause you never know Don't let go, you never know for sure And the sky in Nashville It can bend you low 'Cause the winter here is gray Without a trace of snow But there is no shadow On the silver stars And the colder the night is, The closer the heavens are And we're so close So don't let go 'Cause this I know Don't let go This I know for sure: There's still hope
