The hour is ending, can't you see 
 There is no way now, to get free 
 In the shadow of the season 
 Without a reason, to carry on 
 Without a reason, without a reason 
    And from the north woods 
 Down to the valley 
 In a world of hurting, I'm moving on 
 And from the lighthouse 
 Out on the ocean 
 Can't climb the mountain, so very tall   
 Said Lord please give me what I need 
 He said there's pain and misery 
 Oh sweet oblivion feels alright   
 The hour is drawing ever closer 
 And rolling over, won't let me be 
 In the shadow of the season 
 To find a reason, to carry on   
 Said Lord please give me what I need 
 He said there's pain and misery 
 Oh sweet oblivion   
 She calls me onward to her side 
 And feels her song deep inside 
 And find a reason   
 In the shadow of the season 
 To find a reason to carry on 
 In the shadow of the season 
 To find a reason to carry on 
 Find a reason to carry on 
 To carry on 
 To find a reason to carry on
