--
 I climb  the marble
 stairs  that lead away
 Away  from everything
 I used to know
 I try  to keep my eyes
 down on the way
 The way  my mother
told  me not to go
 Well all  I ever wanted  was
 A hand  to hold me down
 To keep  the sky from
 swallowing me up
 And all  I ever needed
 was someone  to come around
 And tell  me that I've
 suffered long enough
 So take me  away
Find me  a home
 I'm on my way
 I'm on my way
 I wonder  when I'll
see  the stars again
 I thought  that they
 had faded  long ago
 With every  step I'm
closer  to the end
 I'm climbing  cause I
don't  know where to go
 Well all  I ever wanted  was
 A place  to store my faith
 I thought  that I could
keep  it locked away
 It burns  my eyes
 to look  at him
 And see  the truth inside
 And so  I turn my
 broken face away
 (Repeat Chorus)
 I always dreamed  of
 Sundays  together with  you
 Only your echoes  can
 break my heart
 I need a hand  to hold me
 to keep me on  land
 I fear I'm drifting
 too far apart
 Well all  I ever wanted  was
 A hand  to hold me down
 To keep  the sky from
 swallowing me up
 And all  I ever needed
 was someone  to come around
 And tell  me that I've
  --
 suffered long enough
 (Repeat Chorus)
----  (Repeat till fade)
 I'm on my way, I'm gone...
