Center Aisle Lyrics - Caedmon's Call - Caedmons Call

Thank God I'm back in my car, and drivin' home and drivin' home 

'Cause the air was thin and so cold back in there 

It was my first time, won't be my last time 

And the questions rise expectations fall in light of it all 

There aren't words to say, words aren't remembered, but presence is 

A good friend once told me and he was there, he was there 

But she wasn't there and it's not fair and it's not fair 

What crimes have you commited, demanding such penance 

That couldn't wait for five more minutes and a cry for help? 

'Cause this room is peaceful and this room is so quiet 

And I hate the silence and I can't walk the center aisle 

Well, I've been here for over three hours 

Behind the flowers, so beautiful and young 

And so alive and so in need of someone 

Someone to talk to them, 'cause theirs are fragile lives 

What crimes have you commited, demanding such penance 

That couldn't wait for five more minutes and a cry for help? 

'Cause this room is peaceful and this room is so quiet 

And I hate the silence and I can't walk the center aisle 

And I think about my brother 

And how I just stood there 

With my hands in my pockets 

And my heart in my throat 

Thank God I'm back in my car and drivin' home and drivin' home 

But in that place I leave all my days of taking life for granted 

And the words I wrote for her and my best friend crying 

And a young girl lying on all our hearts 

What crimes have you commited, demanding such penance 

That couldn't wait for five more minutes and a cry for help? 

'Cause this room is peaceful and this room is so quiet 

And I hate the silence and I can't walk the center aisle 

And I hate the silence and I can't walk the center aisle
