John Petrucci - Lifting Shadows Off A Dream lyrics

[Verse 1] He seems alone and silent Thoughts remain without an answer Afraid and uninvited He slowly drifts away [Pre-Chorus 1] Moved by desire and fear Breaking delicate wings [Chorus] Lifting shadows Off a Dream once broken She can turn a drop of water Into an ocean [Verse 2] As the rain is pouring down Tears of sorrow wash his mind Drifting with the current This stream of life flows on He seems alone and silent Waiting on his hands and knees The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly [Pre-Chorus 2] Moved by desire and fear He takes a distance away [Chorus] [Bridge] And she listens, ohhh Oh, and she listens openly [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] He pours his soul into the water Reflecting the mystery She carries him away And the winds die slowly [Bridge] [x2] [Chorus] [Outro] Lifting Shadows off a Dream [x2]
