Hollow Years (Basic Tracks) - Dream Theater Lyrics by:John Petrucci Composed by:James LaBrie/John Myung/John Petrucci/Mike Portnoy/Derek Sherinian He's just the kind of man You hear about Who leaves his family for An easy out They never saw the signs Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone One young the fill from System You're crawling under
