Standing still, so still
Eyes aware of all around you
You, you wait until
Softly spoken words arouse you
Oh
Wash away the pain
Sitting stoned in waves of silence
You sense when it's storming again
Begin to dodge any chance of violence
Oh
Play a melody for me
Let it entertain
All the ghosts that you see
Keeping emotions at bay
Defining the art of keeping quiet
Leaving the pieces where they lay
While inside, on rages the riot
Oh
You only come in the night
When I am fast asleep
Still unsure if it's you that I hold
In the dark or the dreams that I keep
Still, I can't help but smile
When I think of you
And every little subtle thing
That you do
Play a melody for me
Let it entertain
All the ghosts
That you see
