Don't look down

She turns around for just a moment
And lights a candle in her room
Outside the streets are cold and rainy
Big black clouds across the moon
And I can see the pain she's hiding
Like a veil behind her eyes
The world has turned and left her naked
With no defence against its lies

And she said "Don't look down
We're safe while we're dreaming
Don't open your eyes to the cruel day"

Well, I walked out again this morning
Back to this lonely hotel room
Deep inside my soul was aching
Love is a dark and evil bloom
And I can't see the light come shining
No, I can't hear the angels sing
I thought of love as my salvation
Now love has taken everything

And she said "Don't look down
We're safe while we're dreaming
Don't open your eyes to the cruel day"
