lyrics

I've never been one to walk the straight line,
strayed from the main road in search of a sign.
Listen to the crying rain.

Music is whispered by some distant voice.
I try to listen through all this white noise.
Listen to the crying rain.

And I don't know if I'll find the will
to keep fighting my way up the hill,
and I can't help but feel
I've got a long way to go,
down such an uncertain road.
I've got a long way to go.

CHORUS:
One day, you'll find the suffering was all in your mind.
Set yourself free, and be what you've been meant to be all this time.
There will be days when comfort seems so far away,
but remember this:
Tomorrow only grows of what you plant today.

Sometimes I wonder if this is all worthwhile,
playing the same bar and faking the same smile.
Listen to the dancing flames.

I'm misrepresenting myself here, you know.
And I need a drink just to get through the show.
Listen to the dancing flames.

And they say that a life in the arts
is a life of left turns and false starts.
And in my heart of hearts,
I know I've got a long way to go
down such an uncertain road.
I've got a long way to go.

CHORUS

This life is only a life.
This mind is only a mind.
Into the breech of the night,
follow your fire and find what you will find.
This soul is only a soul.
This body only a shell.
But love is much more than love.
Love is the tower that holds aloft the bell.

Dream into the liquid night.
Though your road may be unclear, your soul is defined.

CHORUS
