Dream Theater Surrounded Lyrics

Surrounded Lyrics

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



    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



    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 through the night above his bed



    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'



    It's been a long, long time

    He's had awhile to think it over

    In the end he only sees the change

    Light to dark

    Dark to light

    Light to dark

    Dark to light



    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



    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'



    Once lost but I was found

    When I heard the stained glass 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



    I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye

    But I had given all than I could take

    And now I've only habits left to break

    Tonight I'll still be lying here

    Surrounded in all the light
