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
(1st solo)
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'
(2nd solo)
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 have given all than I could take
And now I've only habits left to break
Tonight I'll still be lying here surrounded
In all the light...
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 (1st solo) 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' (2nd solo) 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 have given all than I could take And now I've only habits left to break Tonight I'll still be lying here surrounded In all the light...
