Midnight Serenade Lyrics

Cry me a river
that flows through fields of dreams,
through the wings of the nightingale
and twilight memories.
An angel's gentle kiss
of lifeless breath within your mind,
so beautiful the symphony,
disjointed and sublime.

Close your eyes and dream your life away, away.
Forever and a day, queens of the May
beckon you to dream your life away.

See though the mirror,
how it seems ever clearer now.
Translucent and so surreal,
my scars just fade away.
A passion play of shadows
sings a midnight serenade.
The rush of guilt for all my thoughts
comes to light as another day.

Close your eyes and dream your life away, away.
This abstract masquerade in disarray,
you're the pawn, so dream your life away.

The willow tree, I engraved your name,
a thousand tears, it still remains.
Cold November rains
wash your blood from my veins,
and as the hours meld into the years,
windows to my soul reveal
the answer to my prayers
is not the dream, but to believe.

(Close your eyes...)
Close your eyes and dream your dreams away, away.
Forever and a day, queens of the May
beckon you to dream your life.
Close your eyes and dream your life away, away.
Sanctuary, I can't face another day,
so I'll dream my life away.
