lyrics

Feels like the spell has finally broken
Feels like the shadows lifted from my eyes
For all the times these blues have taken
My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise
From the darkness of my window
I wondered if I’d ever see the light
But like a blackbird from the ruins
I can feel my spirit taking flight

Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold, it’s been too long
Can’t hold back the sun

I was shattered I was bleeding
I was sure that I would fade away
Then the angel of the morning
Found a way to bring a brand new day

Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold, it’s been too long
Can’t hold back the sun

Gonna shake that devil off my shoulder
Gonna put my faith in what’s to come

Feel like the spell has finally broken
Feel like the shadows lifted from my eyes
For all the times these blues have taken
My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise
From the darkness of my window
I wondered if I’d ever see the light
But like a blackbird from the ruins
I can feel my spirit taking flight

Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold, it’s been too long
Can’t hold back the sun
