|
and here i came last night |
|
was it a waking dream in me ? |
|
the spiral staircase led to places so unknown |
|
and out of a clear sky falling |
|
i'm searching high and low for hold |
|
right on the brink of ruin |
|
[chorus] |
|
if i could hear your calls |
|
reflected to the nines |
|
revealing precious memories |
|
the whispering gallery |
|
the place of mystery |
|
in echoes from a silent sea |
|
and there the shadows danced |
|
before i heard the clarion call |
|
in their centennial desperation i won't fall |
|
shaken to their foundations |
|
a mereghost of their former selves |
|
well nigh they've gone to glory |
|
[chorus] |
|
there's a sign in constant glory |
|
will it be my guiding star |
|
on the floatbridge to forever |
|
i can go on so far |
|
this alluring jack o' lantern |
|
and the relics of the past |
|
leading on to your decay |
|
the pendulum swings so fast |
|
[bridge] |
|
on the gateway to your mind |
|
on the flare path of your magnificient |
|
prettifying dreams |
|
it's the touchstone of mankind |
|
it's the only truth to find |
|
[chorus] |
