Surrounded

Lyrics

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 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
 ♪
 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
