Fates Warning

Fates Warning - Island In The Stream

Have you stood at the edge of the world

where the sea and sky collide

looked out to a distant horizon

and dreamed of drifting away...

Have you stood beneath a troubled sky

and watched the dark clouds gathering

closed your eyes to the threatening tide

and woke to another day...

Feel the cold winds all around you

let the night circle and surround you

breath deep the darkness that drowns you

let your imagination take you

To where your sleepless mind rests
to where your thoughts all run free
to your island in the stream
where you can dream at the edge of the world...

To where your restless minds will sleep
to where our hearts will run free
to our island in the stream
where we can dream at the edge of the world...

Fates Warning - The Strand

the more i try

the more i feel i'm missing

the more i run

the more my feet keep slipping

the more i think

the more i tend to worry

the more i look

i see my thoughts before me...

and i dream of a strand

as i struggle on the waves

and i see the end of a passing day

as i see the strand

in the corners of my mind

windows offer the view

of a coming day...

the more i stretch

the more these walls confine me

the more i beg

the less it all seems likely

the more i mind

the matter that surrounds me

the more i find

my thoughts before me...

drifting on an open sea

shipwrecked clinging to broken beams

waters to my neck

i strain to catch my breath

drifting in the boundaries

i've built up deep within me

waters to my neck

i strain to catch my breath

i'm tired of treading again

i'm swimming to the strand...
