Swept Inside

By the shattered coils of another's arms
 And swept inside like the rains that weep
 That fell away when your girlish charms
 Cried out to take on motherhood
 She waits by the windowsill
 All wrapped in white and puzzling
 What happened to the child inside
 Who ran the streets in the days at night
 She says nothing seems the same
 And I can't change a thing
 Her body's like a wave
 Breaking to the sea
 She says everything seems strange
 Locked behind the years
 But life is ours to find
 In the days at night
 There passes a stranger every eve
 Who walks himself on a silver leash
 And in his head the world's asleep
 Awakens in his hands, believed
 When he was young
 He had a dream
 To be a star on the movie screen
 But now it all seems a silly lie
 As he walks alone in the days on fire
 He says nothing seems the same
 And I can't feel a thing
 My body's like a wave
 Caving in on me
 He says everything seems strange
 Holding back the tears
 And he smiles just like a child
 In the days at night
 Mother, of song
 You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams
 All of the snow frozen
 Father, in time
 You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
 All of the snow frozen
 Mother, of song
 You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams
 All of the snow frozen
 Father, in time
 You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
 All of the snow frozen
 Mother, of song
 You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams
 All of the snow frozen
 Father, in time
 You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
 All of the snow frozen
 Mother, of song
 You'll find the right way to cherish, in dreams
 All of the snow frozen
 Father, in time
 You'll find a world that's so perfect and cold
 All of the snow frozen
