Dream Theater - Wait for Sleep lyrics
[Dream Theater - Wait for Sleep lyrics]
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 wait's 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
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 wait's 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
