Lyrics: John Myung

Music: Dream Theater



He seems alone and silent

thoughts remain without an answer

Afraid and uninvited

he slowly drifts away



Moved by desire and fear

Breaking delicate wings



Lifting shadows

off a Dream once broken

She can turn a drop of water

Into an ocean



As the rain is pouring down

Tears of sorrow wash his mind

Drifting with the current

This stream of life flows on



He seems alone and silent

waiting on his hands and knees

The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly



Moved by desire and fear

he takes a few steps away



Lifting shadows

off a Dream once broken

She can turn a drop of water

Into an ocean



And she listens openly



He pours his soul into the water

reflecting the mystery

She carries him away

and the winds die slowly



Lifting shadows

off a Dream once broken

She can turn a drop of water

Into an ocean



Lifting Shadows off a Dream
