Midnight Serenade - Arch / Matheos

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
