7 miles wide The rift in our bed is seven miles wide though I see you as though you were here right beside I'm trying to reach out but it's just in my mind my body's too tense and too stiff to unwind The rift in our bed is seven miles deep the edges are sharp and the walls are so steep and if I could throw myself out like a dove could the peace that I offer ever substitute love So hold on for the night for the day hold on for the night will not stay Punishing you is harder on me though it's double the torture that you don't even se that the rift in our bed is seven miles wide and I'm on the edge and have been for a while So hold on for the night for the day hold on for the night will not stay I've nothing to cry for but I'm crying inside as the rift moves you farther away from my side I want to reach out but I'm just too darn proud will you build me a bridge and I will come around So hold on for the night for the day hold on for the night will not stay I know you care I know you still want me here in the morning by your side when it's dawning And I will share all that I feel if you hold me till the morning baby we can carry each other one more day So hold on for the night for the day hold on for the night will not stay Finally your breathing is heavy and deep you didn't bother and now you're asleep And I'm still awake with a rift in my heart but if I could speak now where would I start Maybe I'd say there's a rift in out bed or maybe the rift is just in my head I know if you'd tell me I'd know what to say and you'd hold me and make all the pain go away So hold on for the night for the day hold on for the night will not stay So hold on for the night for the day hold on for the night will not stay
