lyrics
Shake the dreams from your hair
With the sunlight coming down
And you can’t be what you were
When the sunlight hits the ground
All my kingdom lies
Subject at my feet
But a moment in the light
I cannot quite keep
All the spires rise
To open in the sun
When I have closed my eyes
And missed the moment come
Shake the dreams from your hair
With the sunlight coming down
And you can’t be what you were
When the sunlight hits the ground
Yes my kingdom lies
Subject at my feet
But a moment here with you
I cannot quite keep
And so it turns to stone
As you look away
The beauty of the moment
Is now locked away
But I won’t close my eyes
To miss the moment run
The beauty we remembered
Is opened in the sun
Shake the dreams from your hair
With the sunlight coming down
And you can’t be what you were
When the sunlight hits the ground
