1
By the shattered coils of another's arms
2
And swept inside like the rains that weep
3
That fell away when your girlish charms
4
Cried out to take on motherhood
5
She waits by the windowsill
6
All wrapped in white and puzzling
7
What happened to the child inside
8
Who ran the streets in the days at night
9
She says nothing seems the same
10
And I can't change a thing
11
Her body's like a wave
12
Breaking to the sea
13
She says everything seems strange
14
Locked behind the years
15
But life is ours to find
16
In the days at night
17
There passes a stranger every eve
18
Who walks himself on a silver leash
19
And in his head the world's asleep
20
Awakens in his hands believed
21
When he was young
22
He had a dream
23
To be a star on the movie screen
24
But now it all seems a silly lie
25
As he walks alone in the days on fire
26
He says nothing seems the same
27
And I can't feel a thing
28
My body's like a wave
29
Caving in on me
30
He says everything seems strange
31
Holding back the tears
32
And he smiles just like a child
33
In the days at night
34
Mother, of song
35
You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams,
36
All of the snow frozen
37
Father, in time
38
You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
39
All of the snow frozen
40
Mother, of song
41
You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams,
42
All of the snow frozen
43
Father, in time
44
You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
45
All of the snow frozen
46
Mother, of song
47
You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams,
48
All of the snow frozen
49
Father, in time
50
You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
51
All of the snow frozen
52
Mother, of song
53
You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams,
54
All of the snow frozen
55
Father, in time
56
You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
57
All of the snow frozen
