DREAM THEATER - Wait For Sleep lyrics

rate me

Standing by the window<br>Eyes upon the moon<br>Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit alone<br>She shuts the doors and lights<br>And lays her body on the bed<br>Where images and words are running deep<br>She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head<br>So quietly the lays and waits for sleep<br><br>She stares at the ceiling<br>And tries not to think<br>And pictures the chain<br>She's been trying to link again<br>But the feeling is gone<br><br>And water can't cover her memory<br>And ashes can't answer her pain<br>God giveme the power to take breath from a breeze<br>And call life from a cold metal frame<br><br>In with the ashes<br>Or up with the smoke from the fire<br>With wings up in heaven<br>Or here, lying in bed<br>Palm of her hand to my head<br>Now and forever curled in my heart<br>And the heart of the world
