The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun Lyrics

The song The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun is performed by Dream Theater in the album named When Dream and Day Unite in the year 1996 .

Watching my window, I was led like a child
As the roadway lamplights misguided my mind through the night
A shadow of limits we were racing the rain
My hands held the wheel, my eyes tried to hold their place

There must have been a time when I thought that you were watching
It had to be when my senses lost control
I thought I'd slipped away, I thought I could still feel us moving
It must have been a cloud no bigger than a man's hand

Every reason I risk my life to come back to you
Is locked behind your door, you're my immunity
Outside I watched you burn, heavy hearts were bleeding
A cry for help, a familiar voice, my melting hands streaked the gla*s

As I walked away, I wondered what had really happened
Had I run out of time? Did I push myself too far?
As my last step fell, I felt my hands upon the wheel
Had I come back to life or did I ever leave at all?

In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late
We're past the time when we looked on
Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun

This time for real, I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck from what I saw
For when my hands are still, I'll recognize the message
Never again will my senses lose control

In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late
We're past the time when we looked on
Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun
