Lyrics Dream Theatre - Hollow Years

Hes just the kind of man

You hear about

Who leaves his family for

An easy out

They never saw the signs

He never said a word

He couldnt take another day

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

In the writing of a tired hand

Youll see the message getting clearer

And maybe youll understand

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

(once the stone)

Is lifted off your shoulders

(lifted off)

Once the cloud thats raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that youll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years

Shes not the kind of girl

You hear about

Shell never want another

Shell never be without

Shell give you all the signs

Shell tell you everything

Then turn around and walk away

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

(into the waves)

Walk me across the water

In the echoes of a tired voice

Youll hear the message getting clearer

And maybe youll have no choice

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

(once the stone)

Is lifted off your shoulders

(lifted off)

Once the cloud thats raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that youll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

(into the waves)

Walk me across the water

And maybe youll understand

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud thats raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that youll hear

Is the crashing down

(crashing down, crashing down, crashing down)

Crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Once the stone

Youre crawling under

Once the stone

Youre crawling under
