"Midnight Serenade" lyrics - ARCH/MATHEOS

Cry me a river
That flows through fields of dreams
Through the wings of the nightingale
And twilight memories
An angel's gentle kiss
Of lifeless breath within your mind
So beautiful the symphony, disjointed and sublime

Close your eyes and dream your life away, away
Forever and a day, queens of the May
Beckon you to dream your life away

See though the mirror
How it seems ever clearer now
Translucent and so surreal
My scars just fade away
A passion play of shadows
Sings a midnight serenade
The rush of guilt for all my thoughts
Comes to light as another day

Close your eyes and dream your life away, away
This abstract masquerade in disarray
You're the pawn, so dream your life away

The willow tree, I engraved your name
A thousand tears, it still remains
Cold November rains wash your blood from my veins
And as the hours meld into the years
Windows to my soul reveal
The answer to my prayers
Is not the dream, but to believe

(Close your eyes)
Close your eyes and dream your dreams away, away
Forever and a day, queens of the May
Beckon you to dream your life
Close your eyes and dream your life away, away
Sanctuary, I can't face another day
So I'll dream my life away
