Short Version

Lyrics

Reach for my hand, I'll soar away Into the dawn Oh, I wish I could stay Here in cherished halls, In peaceful days I fear the edge of dawn Knowing time betrays Daylights pass through colored glass In this beloved place Silver shines, the world dines A smile on each face As joy surrounds, comfort abounds and I can feel I'm breaking free For just this moment lost in time. I am finally me Yet still I hide Behind this mask that I have become My blackened heart Scorched by flames of a force I can't run from I look to you Like a red rose Seeking the sun No matter where it goes I long to stay, Where the light dwells To guard against the cold That I know so well

Lyrics

Reach for my hand, I'll soar away Into the dawn, Oh, I wish I could stay Here in cherished halls, In peaceful days I fear the edge of dawn, Knowing time betrays Faint lights pass through colored glass, In this beloved place Silver shines, the world dines, A smile on each face As joy surrounds, comfort abounds, And I can feel I'm breaking free For just this moment lost in time, I am finally me Yet still I hide, Behind this mask that I have become My blackened heart, Scorched by flames, a force I can't run from As I live out Each peaceful day Deep in my soul Oh, I know I can't stay So I wish I Could hide away Hold tight to what I love, Keep cruel fate at bay As the rain falls on the path, I chase your shadow I don't feel a single drop, Or the ground below Then you turn to me and I Stop before I know And the lie upon my lips I let it go Cross my heart Making vows I know will be betrayed A sad girl's pleas Live only for a breath and then they fade Don't ever take Back your kind hand Lest precious love Slip away like time's sand Only we will know All that was lost Scars that we can't erase Show us life's true cost The blue moonlight Cuts across our sight As pure and clear as a ringing bell Reaching for us in the night As the wind calms my thoughts, I have strung on this terrace I feel at peace, Carried away by the wind's song Open the door And walk away Never give in To the call of yesterday Memories that made Those days sublime These ruined halls entomb Stolen time Reach for my hand I'll soar away Into the dawn Oh, I wish I could stay Here in cherished halls In peaceful days I fear the edge of dawn Knowing time betrays
