"Dandy Star" lyrics

"Dandy Star"

There is an eerie silence
In this house tonight
I feel the weight of time
The hours pass so slowly

I hear the sounds of morning
But my eyes can't see
Death arrived last night
And lies sleeping next to me

You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me through dew soaked meadows
Out and away from the horror of this place

Aunt Betty's in the parlor
Sitting in her favourite chair
I feel her eyes wide open
Frozen in a lifeless stare

As fears takes over
I retreat into my mind
And there you are my Dandy Star
Forever by my side

You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me through dew soaked meadows
Out and away from the horror of this place

You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me through dew soaked meadows
(Oh Dandy Star, is you)
I always knew you would return to take me from this place
