Dearly Departed

Anything to hold back these hands,
Anything at all, to bear the weight of time
What I thought was based on the evidence,
all eroded at first light
What I thought was based on the evidence,
Erasing all I have
Would you take me in my sleep?
Better days we'll find if we dream,
deeper sleep we'll need, to bear the weight of time
What I thought was based on the evidence,
all eroded at first light
What I thought was based on the evidence,
erasing all…
I can't stand these dreams, disturbing the sunlight
Realize all I had, is melting away as the morning cracks my eyes
I'll sleep while I can
Dreaming away as the world moves around
A carousel returning the night again
A carousel returning the night again
What I thought was based on the evidence, all eroded at first light
What I thought was based on the evidence, erasing all…
I can't stand these dreams, disturbing the sunlight
Realize all I had, is melting away in my head
