lyrics
Listen, on the rooftop, sounds like rain
She watches through her window made of glass
Counting every drop on the window pane
She bides her time and prays to a silent God
Look, in the green grass, blooms a rose
Reminding her of days been and gone
Days when life was special, times she's lost
And will she have the strength to carry on
The dreams she dreams of bright white angels
They take her from the earth
She soars the clouds her thoughts behind her
No more life in a constant nightmare
But when she wakes they're gone, and life goes on
And old clock on the wall slowly ticks away
But time no longer grips her in its jaws
Wiping back a tear falling down her face
She knows it's there but can't recall the cause
Pictures tainted yellow, days gone by
She looks back on the years, her thoughts askew
Where once familiar faces met her eyes
Strangers have replaced the ones she knew
The dreams she dreams of bright white angels
They take her from the earth
She soars the clouds her thoughts behind her
No more life in a constant nightmare
But when she awakes, they're gone, and another day rolls on
When she wakes they're gone, and life goes on
She slowly wakes in darkness, but sees the light
All fear is gone, a smile is her response
The old clock ticks, she has no more tears to cry
She sees the gate, she knows the bridge to cross
The dreams she dreams of bright white angels
They take her from the earth
She soars the clouds her thoughts behind her
No more life in a constant nightmare
