lyrics

how can you leave
all the sunny dreams
you found in your darkness
you loved in your nights
buried mountains
poured out seas
fallen skies
your world on it's knees
you are dragged into sunrise
across your concrete will
ego torn and bleeding
hope's wound, deeper still
you watch now distant dreams
fade from your view
you sit in your clouds
and cold rain is your truth

but the rain today makes flowers grow
and clouds fly by and feel the winds blow
and the sun and the stars'll shine and glow
can you use that light to see inside and so
you'll find in the dark the love you know ……. is there
and help you let those old dreams go….. away somewhere
it's hard i know …… do you dare

her eyes glare hard
the door slams loud
you feel a frozen gust across
your heart
buried years
memories poured to grey
crumples plans
thrown away
you're pushed into your hollow self
echoing your tears
like rain from those clouds
a terrible dance of fears
you watch now distant hope
fade from your view
you sit amid your clouds
and cold rain's your truth

but the rain today makes flowers grow
and clouds fly by and feel the winds blow
and the sun and the stars'll shine and glow
can you use that light to see inside and so
and help you let those old dreams go….. away somewhere
it's hard i know …… do you dare

how can you leave
all the memories
you made through your life
you carry in your heart
buried joys
and scars that glow
stories and dances shared
and times only you know
you're walk into sunset
your will has learned to sigh
your world of calm is turning
you watch the others cry
you watch now distant dreams
fade from your view
you sit amid your clouds
and peace is now your truth

but the rain today makes flowers grow
and clouds fly by and feel the winds blow
and the sun and the stars'll shine and glow
can you use that light to see inside and so
you'll find in the dark the love you know ……. is there
and help you let those old dreams go….. away somewhere
it's hard i know …… do you dare
