Miles Away

And a cool, cool rain comes down
 On a world burned by the sun
 And the moon arises like a child
 And the moment is undone
 And the stars never say what they see
 As the moon flirts with shadows it makes
 Through the fallen trees
 Some would wait for the morning light
 But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe
 In the arms of night
 Let the darkness roll in
 Let it wipe the light away
 In the distance
 Always calling
 Morpheus
 He beckons play
 Still the morning is pre-ordained
 But I believe light is the source of all of our pain
 It reveals our smallest sins
 But dark covers all and will always take you
 Armed and gunning
 I've been running
 Always just before the day
 In the distance
 Day is dawning
 But I'm already miles away
 In the night there's wonder
 Always there for you to see
 In the light of morning
 Visions fade
 And dreams can flee
 With the darkness the night forgives
 Covers our scars and lets
 The lost souls live
 And the morning's a distant fear
 But if we move fast they'll never find us
 Armed and gunning
 I've been running
 Through a world that's in decay
 Let them thunder stare and wonder
 Cause I'm already miles away
 And the rain comes down
