And her eyes they close so gently
he will never make her cry
yet for you there's still tomorrow
you refuse to sit and die
In the dawning of our future
when the voices scream so loud
pick her up and lay her softly
I am very much alive
Here he comes
quiet
let him talk
he'll try to take your soul
and I'll just let it roll
Hear you cry when we're all sleeping
like a child under the sheets
then the pictures get so vivid
it doesn't have to be like this
he will never make her cry
yet for you there's still tomorrow
you refuse to sit and die
In the dawning of our future
when the voices scream so loud
pick her up and lay her softly
I am very much alive
Here he comes
quiet
let him talk
he'll try to take your soul
and I'll just let it roll
Hear you cry when we're all sleeping
like a child under the sheets
then the pictures get so vivid
it doesn't have to be like this
