There's a traitor in our midst
We're all orphans of the storm
Safely stranded here together
Some have died but some were born
Everyone does their best
And you take what you get
But when the Limited airmail came it surprised me with
A picture postcard of a mourning dove
When I looked at the back it said: Dave,
Holding on, it's gonna take some time
I will love you through the horror and lies
Arm in arm through the darkest night
I will love you, and eternity's mine
If only tunnels were not collapsing
And the sun would not turn black
If only summertime wasn't ending
And the dogs would lose my track
But apparently that's just life
And you take what you get
Or is necessity pushing way too hard now?
But I've got that picture postcard here
Reminding me, when I get pushed down, I read: Dave,
Holding on, it's gonna take some time
I will love you through the horror and lies
Arm in arm through the darkest night
I will love you, and eternity's mine
But you just don't quit
Carry me, carry me
No you just don't quit
So every morning, every day
When I don't feel the sunshine this will be me
Holding on, it's gonna take some time
But I will love you through the horror and lies
Arm in arm though the darkest nights
I'll be near you and eternity's mine
