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...
