I've learned things that fly must all crash down again Her tears are falling like the ice of Hell And echo as they fall Like the voices in her head That plague and slowly drive her mad Close your eyes, close your eyes And shut the world out from your mind Her nights are filled with dreamless sleep She hopes and prays for their release Close your eyes, close your eyes And dream about your world could be Why are the days so long? Why do the nights collapse? Why is my throat so dry?
Why can't you sleep at night? Why? She dreams her world is full of life And warm, her tears begin to melt Running freely down her face She flies and find her peace at last Close your eyes, close your eyes And scream as you come crashing down She wakes in cold sweat, breathing fast She lives but broken she remains Close your eyes, close your eyes And dream of when you'll fly away I've learned things that fly must all crash down again
