Daylight took your body
Took your, your army
Justifies like a bruise
Cost you all you had to lose
Dream away, dream away
Dream away, dream away
You play like none do
A game of numbers
Promises to keep
As far as the eyes can reach
A game of luck that I would choose
A game of light that I would lose
Dream away, dream away
A game of numbers
Will take us under, go
You would leave me under you oath
Blazing thunder at all
You leave me under the sun
And I’ll
Dream, I see
Dream, I see
Daylight can take your body
Can take your mind and your beliefs
Like a thread from a spool
Close your eyes before you lose
Dream away, dream away (time, time)
A game of numbers
Will take us under
You would leave me under oath
Blazing thunder at all
You leave me under the sun
And I’ll dream, I see
Dream of the sea
