These Dreams
Lyrics:
[English]
(gentle rock music)
♪ Spare a little candle ♪
♪ Save some light for me ♪
♪ Figures up ahead ♪
♪ Moving in the trees ♪
♪ White skin in linen ♪
♪ Perfume on my wrist ♪
♪ And the full moon that hangs over ♪
♪ These dreams in the mist ♪
♪ These dreams go on when I close my eyes ♪
♪ Every second of the night I live another life ♪
♪ These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside ♪
♪ Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away ♪
♪ Further I'm away ♪
♪ Is it cloak and dagger ♪
♪ Could it be spring or fall ♪
♪ I walk without a cut ♪
♪ Through a stained glass wall ♪
♪ Weaker in my eyesight ♪ ♪ Weaker in my eyesight ♪
♪ The candle in my grip ♪
♪ Words that have no form ♪ ♪ And words that have no form ♪
♪ Are falling from my lips ♪
♪ These dreams go on when I close my eyes ♪
♪ Every second of the night I live another life ♪
♪ These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside ♪
♪ Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away ♪
♪ Further I'm away ♪
♪ There's something out there ♪
♪ I can't resist ♪
♪ I need to hide away from the pain ♪
♪ There's something out there ♪
♪ I can't resist ♪
♪ The sweetest song is silence ♪
♪ That I've ever heard ♪ ♪ Feet don't touch the earth ♪
♪ Funny how your feet ♪
♪ In dreams never touch the earth ♪
♪ In a wood full of princes ♪
♪ Freedom is a kiss ♪ ♪ The prince hides his face ♪
♪ But the prince hides his face ♪
♪ From dreams in the mist ♪
♪ These dreams go on when I close my eyes ♪
♪ Every second of the night I live another life ♪
♪ These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside ♪
♪ Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away ♪
♪ These dreams go on when I close my eyes ♪
♪ Every second of the night I live another life ♪
♪ These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside ♪
♪ Every moment I'm awake ♪
