And a cool, cool rain comes down On a world burned by the sun And the moon arises like a child And the moment is undone And the stars never say what they see As the moon flirts with shadows it makes Through the fallen trees Some would wait for the morning light But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe In the arms of night Let the darkness roll in Let it wipe the light away In the distance Always calling Morpheus He beckons play Still the morning is pre-ordained But I believe light is the source of all of our pain It reveals our smallest sins But dark covers all and will always take you Armed and gunning I've been running Always just before the day In the distance Day is dawning But I'm already miles away In the night there's wonder Always there for you to see In the light of morning Visions fade And dreams can flee With the darkness the night forgives Covers our scars and lets The lost souls live And the morning's a distant fear But if we move fast they'll never find us Armed and gunning I've been running Through a world that's in decay Let them thunder stare and wonder Cause I'm already miles away And the rain comes down --- I really want to know What you had in store I couldn't really tell Perhaps it's just as well I came here with a dream And I just had to see If my dream would soar I knocked on every door His whole life was written Written there inside The new weekly bible His modern T.V.
