The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun

album: "When Dream And Day Unite" (1989)
[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci]




* back                                                       * next

Watching my window I was led like a child
As the roadway lamplights
misguided my mind through the night
a shadow of limits

We were racing the rain
my hands held the wheel
My eyes tried to hold their place

there must have been a time
when I thought that you were
watching
It had to be when my senses lost
control
I thought I'd slipped away
I thought I could still feel us....moving
It must have been a cloud
no bigger than a man's hand

Every reason I risk my life
To come back to you
Is locked behind your door

You're my immunity
Outside I watched you burn
Heavy hearts were bleeding
A cry for help, a familiar voice
My melting hands streaked the glass

As I walked away
I wondered what had really
happened

had I run out of time
did I push myself too far
As my last step fell
I felt my hands upon the wheel
had I come back to life
or did I ever leave at all

In higher lives...We seem to be
always a moment too late
We're past the time...when we looked on
Now we're

THE ONES WHO HELP TO
SET THE SUN

this time for real
I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck...from what I saw
For when my hands are still
I'll recognize the message

never again will my senses lose
control....In higher lives
We seem to be...Always a moment too late
We're past the time
when we looked on...Now we're
THE ONES WHO HELP TO
SET THE SUN
