lyrics

so i dream of days when i’m gone and soul cries to be able to run to no-one
and i can’t find my way home and all that i am able to do is long for
the days i held you so close and everywhere was laughter and leaves and sunshine
but now i’m crying alone and all that i can do now is roll and tumble down

chorus: and now the house is dark
and there’s a beggar at the door
and it’s horrid in my forehead
can’t fight it any more
i how do i defend these cages
dream until my heart engages love

so i saw her today, her heaviness was sunshine to all my sadness
i breathed some light in her day and wondered why i get so alone when i
can just call her and ask her to stay and we could wander back through the garden where we
once lay and stared at the sky and everything was open and endless dreaming

chorus
