the ones who help to set the sun

dream theater

when dream and day unite



music: dream theater

lyrics: john petrucci



watching my window i was led like a child

as the roadway lamplights

aisguided my mind through the night

a shadow of limits

we were racing the rain

my hands held the wheel

my eyes tried to hold their place



there must have been a time

when i thought that you were watching

it had to be when my senses lost control

i thought i'd slipped away

i thought i could still feel us moving

it must have been a cloud

no bigger than a man's hand



every reason i risk my life

to come back to you

is locked behind your door

you're my immunity

outside i watched you burn

heavy hearts were bleeding

a cry for help, a familiar voice

my melting hands streaked the glass



as i walked away

i wondered what had really happened

had i run out of time

did i push myself too far

as my last step fell

i felt my hands upon the wheel

had i come back to life

or did i ever leave at all



in higher lives

we seem to be always a moment too late

we're past the time

when we looked on

now we're

the ones who help to set the sun



this time for real

i locked the door behind me

my mind was still a wreck from what i saw



for when my hands are still

i'll recognize the message

never again will my senses lose control



in higher lives

we seem to be

always a moment too late

we're past the time

when we looked on

now we're

the ones who help to set the sun
