(When the darkness falls like a curtain And the night ahead is a long and uncertain dream Beyond the loss and the hope of redemption) At the broken heart of the city Where the hollow light of day never reaches in A man can break down and fall into pieces He will fall asleep like a baby And the unforgiving arms of the cradle Rock as hard as the face of the city pavement Hide your eyes Hide your eyes He can see the face of a lover In the lonely face of the angel above him Carved into the stone that is changing around him He can feel her breathing inside him And the unforgiving visions deny him Life can only be what a man can make it Hide your eyes Hide your eyes Sunday morning Yellow sky The sun is floating diamond high Hours passing SongtexteA baby cries In the arms of someone you imagine Close your eyes This is your lullaby Close your eyes This is your lullaby He can feel his skin like a prison Like a dying cage he struggles to live inside He tries to call out but nobody hears him At the ragged edge of the silence In the calm that only comes with the violent sleep Inside the heart and the hope of redemption Hide your eyes Hide your eyes In the heart of someone you imagine Close your eyes This is your lullaby Close your eyes This is your lullaby (Down, down, down Would the fall never come to an end? Wonder how many miles I've fallen Must be somewhere near the centre of the earth How funny it will seem to come out among the people Who walk with their heads downwards Down, down, down Down, down, down Would the fall never come to an end?)
