Dream Theater - Hollow Years lyrics

He's 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 couldn't take another day

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone

You're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl

You hear about

She'll never want another

She'll never be without

She'll give you all the signs

She'll 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

And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone

You're crawling under

(Once the stone)

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll 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 you'll understand

Once the stone

You're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone

You're crawling under

Once the stone

You're crawling under

(The sound you'll hear,)

Once the stone

(the crashing)

You're crawling under

(down of hollow years)

Once the stone

You're crawling under

Once the stone

You're crawling under

Once the stone

You're crawling under

(The sound you'll hear, the crashing down of hollow years)
