Wait for Sleep and Surrounded
Standing by the window
- Standing by the window
- Eyes upon the moon
- Hoping that the memory
- Will leave her spirit soon
- She shuts the doors and lights
- And lays her body on the bed
- Where images and words are
- Running deep
- She has too much pride to pull
- The sheets above her head
- So quietly she lays and waits
- For sleep
- She stares at the ceiling
- And tries not to think
- And pictures the chains
- She's been trying to link again
- But the feeling is gone
- And water can't cover her
- Memory
- And ashes can't answer her
- Pain
- God give me the power to take
- Breath from a breeze
- And call life from a cold metal
- Frame
- In with the ashes
- Or up with the smoke from the
- Fire
- With wings up in heaven
- Or here lying in bed
- Palm of her hand to my head
- Now and forever curled in my
- Heart
- And the heart of the world
- Morning comes too early
- And nighttime falls too late
- And sometimes all I want to do is wait
- The shadow I've been hiding in
- Has fled from me today
- I know it's easier to walk away
- Than look it in the eye
- But I will raise a shelter to the sky
- And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie
- She will slowly yield the light
- As I awaken from the longest night
- Dreams are shaking
- Set sirens waking up tired eyes
- With the light the memories
- All rush into his head
- By a candle stands a mirror
- Of his heart and soul she dances
- She was dancing through the night above his bed
- And walking to the window
- He throws the shutters out against the wall
- And from an ivory tower hears her call
- Let light surround you
- It's been a long long time
- He's had a while to think it over
- In the end he only sees the change
- Light to dark
- Dark to light
- Light to dark
- Dark to light
- Heaven must be more than this
- When angels waken with a kiss
- Sacred hearts won't take the pain
- But mine will never be the same
- He stands before the window
- His shadow slowly fading from the wall
- And from an ivory tower hears her call
- Let the light surround you
- Once lost but I was found
- When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me
- I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill
- But I will hold this one on high above me still
- She whispers words to clear my mind
- I once could see but now at last I'm blind
- I know it's easier to walk away
- Than look it in the eye
- But I had given all that I could take
- And now I've only habits left to break
- Tonight I'll still be lying here
- Surrounded in all the light
