Morning comes too early
And night time
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
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
All against the wall
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
With angels awakened
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 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 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
