The Strand Lyrics - Fates Warning

The more I try 

The more I feel I'm missing 

The more I run 

The more my feet keep slipping 

The more I think 

The more I tend to worry 

The more I look 

I see my thoughts before me 

And I dream of a strand 

As I struggle on the waves 

And I see the end of a passing day 

As I see the strand 

In the corners of my mind 

Windows offer the view 

Of a coming day 

The more I stretch 

The more these walls confine me 

The more I beg 

The less it all seems likely 

The more I mind 

The matter that surrounds me 

The more I find 

My thoughts before me 

Drifting on an open sea 

Shipwrecked clinging to broken beams 

Waters to my neck 

I strain to catch my breath 

Drifting in the boundaries 

I've built up deep within me 

Waters to my neck 

I strain to catch my breath 

I'm tired of treading again 

I'm swimming to the strand
