Lyrics ====== The window burns to light the way back home, A light light that warms no matter where they've gone They're off to find the hero of the day, Hmm, but what if they should fall by someone's wicked ways? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns Someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames, do ya feel your names Can't you hear your babies cryin'? Mama they try and break me Still they try and break me Excuse me while I tend to how I feel These things return to me that still seem real Now deservingly, this easy chair Mmm, but the rocking stopped by wheels of despair Don't want your aid, But the fist i made for you can't hold off fear No, I'm not all me So please excuse me while i tend to how i feel Bridge ------ But now the dreams and waking dreams They everlast the night So build a wall Behind it crawl And hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies crying now Still the window burns Time so slowly turns Someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames, can't you hear your names Can't you hear your babies cryin'? But now the dreams and waking dreams They everlast the night So build a wall Behind it crawl And hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies crying now Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try, Mama they try Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try, Mama they try
