open up your door for me
and let me in
oh can't you see
how cold i am?
you remain there
unabated
and you refuse to let me lose you
only when i sleep i do
and the sounds forming words
from the wellspring of concern
while my boat in that ocean turned
on the hull i watched the city burn
in a dream
in a dream
in a dream
it seemed real
even in the dream i cried
i'm a giveaway
i could never hide
all the sadness inside
blue
what a funny colour to colour you
love is hard to hold onto
only when i sleep i do
and the sounds forming words
from the wellspring of concern
while my boat in that ocean, turned
on the hull i watched the city burn
in a dream
in a dream
in a dream
it seemed real

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
