Then Tangles of My Mind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the tangles of my mind And a haze of mourning wine As the swollen evening sun Turns to a morning shroud And the purple grains of sand Whisper through my hourglass hands Convincing me I've little time for sleeping [Chorus] And the sullen light of morning time Will come again Return my pain Take away my only escape [Verse 2] Keeper, take me for a ride The evening's daylight stands outside Upon two-legged thoughts Of candles burning As the stardust in my eyes Turns to earthdust, halts my cries And life's a masochistic dream of learning [Chorus] And the sullen light of morning time Will come again Return my pain Take away my only escape [Verse 3] Lock the canyons of my mind And in sleep I'll forever lie As reality draws near to me I run screaming And the purple grains of man Whisper through my hourglass hands Convincing me to spend my time in dreaming [Chorus] And the sullen light of morning time Will come again Return my pain Take away my only escape
