marillion - cathedral wall lyrics

(hogarth/kelly/mosley/rothery/trewavas)
curl up tight into a ball
curl my body against the soil
staring up here
at the cathedral wall
i will sleep tonight
be a baby
forget it all
be a baby
watch the quiet stones
massive friend
cathedral wall
i will sleep tonight

a mother to the living
a mother to the dead
silent as the moonlight
i come to lay my head
and i won't know you
anymore

the peckish evening rolls once more
into the ravenous night
of hunger pains
that keep our troubled souls awake
we are forbidden to explain

a mother to the living
a mother to the dead
my ghost will drink the moonlight
magic stones
my heart and bones

and i won't know you
anymore

she's cold
she knows me
cathedral wall
she's cold
she shows
i borrow
keep away
keep you away my love, my love
and pray i might sleep tonight

the violence of my heartbeat
the violence of the blood
i will sleep with the cathedral
and, one day, you'll give up
and i will love you
but i won't know you
anymore

my frenzied and exhausted mind
will somehow find a way
to leave you for a time
condemned to lieing
and lying awake


[these chains are all your own...]
