lyrics

I sing alone tonight
'Neath an empty sky
for an audience of
People passing by
I'm not alone tonight
I swear I heard the sound
Of a symphony
Playing underground

Count the stars tonight
Is their light still fair
Are we getting close
How does this flash compare
I'd heard it spoken that
We can't just give up
But I've had my share
And now I’ve had enough

Swim through
Oceans of silence
Search for
Light on the coastline

Locked away tonight
In a mind-made cage
I dreamt of lives I’d lived
And lives I’d live again
I walked the winter fields
Where joy and sorrow danced
Here's to you my friends
This goodbye's my last

I can't escape tonight
The water's barred my path
The forest's light is gone
I cannot build my raft
I'd have to wait for you
For you to use your tools
For you to calm the waves
For you to prove them fools

Swim through
Oceans of silence
Search for
Light on the coastline
