lyrics

Nightmares hang from the ceiling
No shape in the black of the room
Except for secrets from the window
The infinite gaze of the moon

Wide eyed or winking through curtains
Watching what you never will
Nothing that you see is certain
You can't balance on a windowsill

Springs against bones where your lying
Which lie in the autumn night?
Babies whisper through the pillows
"No fixing whats broken, no wings for your troubled life"

Now move along tomorrow's coming
There's a dawn for every day
The way is long even when running
So don't be afraid to stay

Panhandler of dreams in the doorway
The snake charmer has nowhere to hide
There's a desperation in his smile
Peeking through the pieces of light

My face is as blank as a dealers
No different than a grain of sand
Numb to the moods of the ocean
Another invisible man

Slot machines spinning no winners
Veterans twisting their arms
Images fall slow and silent
Like snow in the winter, like tears of a troubled heart

Now move along tomorrow's coming
There's a dawn for every day
The way is long even when running
So don't be afraid to stay

She lost her youth to an old man
One with no sense of time
He carries around a suitcase
That has nothing inside

Life it gets tired of living
But when she smiled it all flew away
Until sunsets dimmed before him
And he knew he was losing the race

Closed eyes weighed down by old lovers
Umbilical chord around your neck
Holes in the souls of decisions
Something in a casket, something you'll never get back

Now move along tomorrow's coming
There's a dawn for every day
The way is long even when running
So don't be afraid to stay
Don't be afraid to stay
Don't be afraid to stay
