[Dream Theater - Surrounded - live at the the marquee club, london, april 23,1993 lyrics]
Morning comes too early and
Nighttime falls too late
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 awhile 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 spirit's 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 habit's left to break
Tonight I'll still be lying here
Surrounded in all the light
Nighttime falls too late
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 awhile 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 spirit's 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 habit's left to break
Tonight I'll still be lying here
Surrounded in all the light
