Dream Theater – Wait for Sleep
Audio Published on July 27, 2017
Lyrics
Standing by the window
Eyes upon the moon
Hoping that the memory
Will leave her spirit soon
She shuts the doors and lights and lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep
She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep
She stares at the ceiling and tries not to think
And pictures the chains she's been trying to link again
But the feeling is gone
And water can't cover her memory
And ashes can't answer her pain ... See More
Eyes upon the moon
Hoping that the memory
Will leave her spirit soon
She shuts the doors and lights and lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep
She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep
She stares at the ceiling and tries not to think
And pictures the chains she's been trying to link again
But the feeling is gone
And water can't cover her memory
And ashes can't answer her pain ... See More
