Intro :
Verse 1 :
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
Verse 2 :
I know it's easier to walk away
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 …
Interlude :
Verse 3 :
Dreams are shaking
Dreams are shaking
Set sirens
waking up tired eyes
With the
light the memories
All rush
into his head
Verse 4 :
By a candle stands a mirror
By a candle stands a mirror
Of his heart
and soul she dances
She was
dancing thru the night
Above his
bed
Verse 5 :
And walking to the window
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" …
Interlude :
Verse 6 :
It's been a long, long time
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 …
Verse 7 :
Heaven must be more than this
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
Verse 8 :
He stands before the window
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" …
Interlude :
Verse 9 :
Once lost but I was found
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 …
Verse 10 :
I know it's easier
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 …
