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
