I Dream of Daylight

Verse 1

Stone cathedral shadows where I wake alone

My marble bed is cold as any throne

I count the hours and count the years

Hundreds of dawns I've never seen appear

Pre-Chorus

Oh to stand inside that glow

To let the morning find my face

To melt like wax on winter snow

To leave no shadow in this place

Chorus

I dream of daylight

A warmth I cannot touch

I dream of daylight

A love that burns too much

Give me one morning

One kiss of burning ray

I'd trade eternity

To feel the sun one day

Verse 2

The town awakens underneath my shroud

I hear the church bells ringing high and loud

The baker's daughter laughs and spins around

She doesn't know I haunt this holy ground

Pre-Chorus

Oh to stand inside that glow

To let the morning find my face

To melt like wax on winter snow

To leave no shadow in this place

Chorus

I dream of daylight

A warmth I cannot touch

I dream of daylight

A love that burns too much

Give me one morning

One kiss of burning ray

I'd trade eternity

To feel the sun one day

Bridge

The coffin lid is growing thin

Ten thousand nights of restless skin

I press my palm against the seam

And whisper to a fading dream

Chorus

I dream of daylight

A warmth I cannot touch

I dream of daylight

A love that burns too much

Give me one morning

One kiss of burning ray

I'd trade eternity

To feel the sun one day
