Cathedral Wall - Marillion

Curl up tight into a ball

Curl my body against the soil

Staring up here

At the cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight

Be a baby

Forget it all

Be a baby

Watch the quiet stones

Massive friend

Cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight

A mother to the living

A mother to the dead

Silent as the moonlight

I come to lay my head

And I won’t know you

Anymore

The peckish evening rolls once more

Into the ravenous night

Of hunger pains

That keep our troubled souls awake

We are forbidden to explain

A mother to the living

A mother to the dead

My ghost will drink the moonlight

Magic stones

My heart and bones

And I won’t know you

Anymore

She’s cold

She knows me

Cathedral wall

She’s cold

She shows

I borrow

Keep away

Keep you away my love, my love

And pray I might sleep tonight

The violence of my heartbeat

The violence of the blood

I will sleep with the cathedral

And, one day, you’ll give up

And I will love you

But I won’t know you

Anymore

My frenzied and exhausted mind

Will somehow find a way

To leave you for a time

Condemned to lieing

And lying awake
