  • We're running with the shadows of the night
    So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
    Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
    They'll come true in the end

    You said, "Oh girl, it's a cold world
    When you keep it all to yourself"
    I said, "You can't hide on the inside
    All the pain you've ever felt"
    Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
    'Cause we got nobody else

    [Chorus]
    We're running with the shadows of the night
    So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
    Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
    They'll come true in the end

    You know that sometimes, it feels like
    It's all moving way too fast
    Use every alibi and words you deny
    That love ain't meant to last
    You can cry tough baby, it's all right
    You can let me down easy, but not tonight

    [Chorus: x2]

    And now the hands of time are standin' still
    Midnight angel, won't you say you will

    [Chorus: x3] Writer/s: D.L. Byron

  • Kaden Vanciel from Visalia, CaliforniaFeatured in the Paramount Pictures film "The Lost City starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, I dunno what other films it's in, though that may be listed on Wikipedia.
  • Joseph Raspa from Staten IslandA great voice, a great song, great art, and a great video, no matter how you look at it.
  • Joe from Grand Haven, MiSomehow, for me, this song never evoked images of Rosie the Riveter or fighter pilots and Nazis. Interesting, if odd, choice for the video.
  • Bob from Franklin TennesseeI believe that it was a depiction of Rosie the riveter in the video
  • Steve Burdin @ Northern Pop Quizzes from West Yorkshire UkRachel Sweet did indeed record an early version of the song but I believe Helen Schneider predated it with her version.
