Tonight
The Shroud Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk with me let me dream of one shining moment with you Falling into your open arms and calling your name...

No regrets, no turning back
Oh throw caution to the wind
My whole life pales beside
The look in your eyes tonight

Pull me down to the ground to leave behind the life

I knew and dream with you alone
Promises keeping me drowning in you the darkness fills my eyes...

No regrets, no turning back
Oh throw caution to the wind
My whole life pales beside
The look in your eyes tonight

Take away my heart my will and leave behind the life
I knew to dream with you alone
Telling me everything you know will leave me twisted and calling your name...

Tell me night falls,
Tell me love calls,
Tell me anything at all

No regrets, no turning back Oh throw caution to the wind My whole life pales beside the look in your eyes tonight
