[Verse 1]
In the tangles of my mind
And a haze of mourning wine
As the swollen evening sun
Turns to a morning shroud
And the purple grains of sand
Whisper through my hourglass hands
Convincing me I've little time for sleeping
[Chorus]
And the sullen light of morning time
Will come again
Return my pain
Take away my only escape
[Verse 2]
Keeper, take me for a ride
The evening's daylight stands outside
Upon two-legged thoughts
Of candles burning
As the stardust in my eyes
Turns to earthdust, halts my cries
And life's a masochistic dream of learning
[Chorus]
And the sullen light of morning time
Will come again
Return my pain
Take away my only escape
[Verse 3]
Lock the canyons of my mind
And in sleep I'll forever lie
As reality draws near to me
I run screaming
And the purple grains of man
Whisper through my hourglass hands
Convincing me to spend my time in dreaming
[Chorus]
And the sullen light of morning time
Will come again
Return my pain
Take away my only escape
