Cathedral Wall Lyrics - 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 lying 

And lying awake 

(These chains are all your own)
