Lyrics

Once there was a boy
who fell off the roof
While crawling through a window
Just to keep from being seen
Oh, what a terrible
fall he took
Falling through dream
Like falling through a dream

Premonitions soak you to the bone
Like an icy rain sets a tone
The light from your room
As he walks up the stairs
A crystal blue sky
That’s stealing your nightmare

You can cry out your eyes if it helps you feel better
Tell yourself lies to cushion the blow
But we knew all along the words to this song
Before we ever heard a note

This is the part
that always breaks your heart
Like a whisper in the dark
a voice you cannot trace
Close your eyes, dream again
Dream of beginnings without ends
Let your face turn toward the sound
of the angels sighing
