Visiting Hours

Did you speak?
Did you say something to me?
Hear that sound?
That's the sound that sets you free
But the signs have lost their way
All the signs have lost their way
And no one speaks to me

Here and now
See the fear and paralyses
On these crowded dirty streets
On your knees and not your feet
And no one looks for me

In the shadows the corners meet
But if they could only see
How it was meant to be

The plans we devised
The dreams of grandeur
The years have passed me by
Was it worth waiting for

It's the rose that grows without a thorn
It's the rising Sun before the dawn
And these tired eyes
I've tried to find the words
But these scars will still remain
And remind us who to blame

And from the world we will be torn
Like a dream that dies before the dawn
I have searched the sky
The great divide for more

The plans we devised
The dreams of grandeur
The years of sacrifice
Was it worth waiting for?

And if we survive
The visiting hours
The years have passed me by
Was it worth waiting for?

And if we survive
