[Intro]
Morning comes too early
And nighttime falls too late
And sometimes all I want to do
Is wait
The shadow I've been hiding in
Has fled from me today
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 thru the night
Above his bed
[Chorus]
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"
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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"
[Verse 4]
Once lost but I was found
When I heard the stained gla**
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
[Outro]
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
