about

First single from upcoming album "Together Through the Dark." Slaid describes it simply as "a song about offering comfort in hard times."

lyrics

Dark clouds gather on the western range
This time it feels like more than just another cold hard rain
Rivers rising over old flood lines
Here come the prophets, calling out the end of times

When the night comes creeping in
And the day has left a mark
I’ll take you by the hand
Together through the dark

We nurse our bruises and we touch our scars
We look up to the night, seeing chaos in the stars
Through endless time the same old dance
We stray out into the dark, in search of one last chance

When the night comes creeping in
And the day has left a mark
I’ll take you by the hand
Together through the dark

I'll tend the fire through the night and through the doubt
Can't fight the storm outside, but we can wait it out

This world is hard from the day you’re born
You can't pick up the rose without a handful of thorns
Holding on to the slimmest hope
You can beg for mercy or you can pray for a little more rope

When the doubt comes creeping in
And life has left a mark
I’ll take you by the hand
Together through the dark

When the night comes creeping in
And the day has left a mark
I’ll take you by the hand
Together through the dark
Together through the dark
Together through the dark
