Oh, when you’re gone
The night is cold as it is long
And the hurt that made you humble wanna write about
Is the love that made you crumble from the inside out

And I believe in a new day to come, that is
Always darkest before the dawn
Moving in slow motion baby
Still I’m moving on, yeah, yeah
Moving in slow motion baby
Still I’m moving on

Oh, I can see
Ain’t no magic words to set you free
Still I’m hoping you are gonna take me as I am
Even though I am a fool and such a stubborn man

And I believe in a new day to come, that is
Always darkest before the dawn
Moving in slow motion baby
Still I’m moving on, yeah, yeah
Moving in slow motion baby
Still I’m moving on

I left new england for the city life
Oh, I got songs I wanna sing
Went down virginia, got a country wife
I gave that country girl my ring
Yeah, I gave her my grandma’s diamond ring

Oh, I can see
Ain’t no magic words to set you free
Still I’m hoping you are gonna take me as I am
Even though I am a fool and such a stubborn man

I believe in a new day to come, that is
Always darkest before the dawn
Moving in slow motion baby
Still I’m moving on, yeah, yeah
Moving in slow motion baby
Still I’m moving on
