Title: Sanctuary
Lyrics SanctuaryHe said she needed a sanctuary
A world inside of the world that she knew
Together they'd conquer any enemy
He'd make all her dreams come true
He knew she'd stay pretty
If he could stay clean
And when they slept, the dreamed the same dreams
But sometimes she'd find herself calling a name
From the rooftop through the traffic and rain
Oh soul to soul and hand in hand
He leads her to his promise land
He knows the way she follows him to her sanctuary
She's free at night but only in her dreams
And when she wakes up crying
She goes to the rooftop and waits for an echo
But the traffic steals her screams
Oh soul to soul and hand in hand
He leads her to his promise land
He knows the way she follows him to her sanctuary
Maybe I'm crazy, she says, it's all in her mind
She's so tired of smiling with nothing inside
She's wearing a print dress
She’s standing on a porch
He opens his sad eyes to find
Under too bright a light bulb, after too many bottles
He let his sweet baby slip by
Oh soul to soul and hand in hand
He leads her to his promise land
He knows the way she follows him
... to her sanctuary |
