Then Tangles Of My Mind

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

And the sullen light of morning time

will come again

Return my pain

Take away my only escape

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

And the sullen light of morning time

will come again

Return my pain

Take away my only escape

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

And the sullen light of morning time

will come again

Return my pain

Take away my only escape
