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 thru 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 a while 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 that
I could take
And now I've only habits left

to break
Tonight I'll still be lying here
Surrounded in all the light
