lyrics

Run that by me one more time
Is it yours or is it mine
Broken circuits block the lines
Rage and storming hides the signs

Tell me once in words I'll hear
Say it simple say it clear
And as the dread of dark draws near
I'll draw the veil on my fear

Paint the picture draw the map
Could this be just one more trap
What has slipped out through the gap
As my hands lie helpless on my lap

New beginnings broken ends
Times tough passage winds and bends
We find ourselves we lose our friends
As one page starts another ends

CH
Come the day my ship will find me
Come the day I'll stand alone
Come the day I'll leave behind me
All the days I cast in stone

I see you you see me
We both know how it's meant to be
But when it's time to plant the tree
We find out that our hearts are'nt free

Draw the water from the well
Cool my fevered heart as well
Who's the keeper of the spell
That turns my heaven into hell

Little words escape the cage
A laugh that turns to roars of rage
Like turning gears our lives engage
To play out on this darkened stage

I look into a face I know
But now that face has lost it's glow
I see eyes that I don't know
The signs of danger start to grow

CH

I'll turn my back I'll turn my cheek
I'll turn my eyes I wont speak
In no time days become a week
I lie alone, the floorboards creak

The mists of memory cloud my mind
I clutch at straws that I find
Who's undone these ties that bind
As the fabric of our lives unwinds

Hold your hand out lift your head
Look into my eyes instead
Come back to this tortured bed
There's no return on the lives we've lead

We've played the game we've had our fun
This time it's no practise run
I look at you to see who's won
It's like like looking straight into the sun
