Lyrics

Only for a While

Once upon a time, a child heard a line
That moved him
The child never grew, the line it came true
And all around,

Inside dreams it stays,
Dormant through these days,
That follow,
Reminded only by the saddest lullaby,
That was whispered,

You've got to lie down for a while,
This will pass it's only mild,
You've got to ease your mind,
For a while.

I know I'll never be, able to be free,
From these memories,
Of loving life the same,
Embrace it everyday,
That it comes to you,

You've got to lie down for a while,
This will pass it's only mild,
You've got to ease your mind,
You've got to ease your mind for a while,
Lie down for a while,
This will pass it's only mild,
You've got to ease your mind for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
