If you were down in a gutter

Where the homeless shudder

Tryin' to shake off the snow

If your tide was low

And you lost your rudder

I'd show you where to go.

If you were stuck out on the burning sand

Hair on fire in a blinding gale

I'd throw down a rope

And pull you out of your hell.

In your darkest hour

Baby, I'd come runnin' (i'd come runnin')

In your darkest hour

I'd light your way

Baby, don't give up (don't give up)

I'll do everything in my power

To take even a minute off your darkest hour.

And life can be a labyrinth

A maze of moments, a pyramid of plans

When it all goes south

I'll be your compass

'til your needle spins you north again.

In your darkest hour

Baby, I'd come runnin' (i'd come runnin')

In your darkest hour

I'd light your way

Baby, don't give up (don't give up)

I'll do everything in my power

To take even a minute off your darkest hour.

All I really know is I never know

What's coming around the bend

But you should know you're not alone

Hang on and hold my hand.

In your darkest hour

Baby, I'd come runnin' (i'd come runnin')

In your darkest hour

I'd light your way

Baby, don't give up (don't give up)

I'll do everything in my power

To take even a minute off your darkest hour.

Baby, I'd come runnin' (don't give up)

Yeah, I'd light your way (don't give up)

Don't give up

Baby, I'd come runnin' (don't give up)

Baby, I'd come runnin' (don't give up)

Don't give up (don't give up)

Light your way, baby

Baby, I'd come runnin' (don't give up)

Don't give up, baby (don't give up)
