The Glass Menagerie
You're holding on
To the picture on the wall
The princess of the ball
The rise before the fall
Dreaming of tomorrow just to try and find a way
To help yourself escape from today
When you wake up
And slip into the hope of the world you make up
Roll back the years
To hold back your tears
You're hanging on
To the world inside your mind
The place where you reside
Where you go to hide
Dreaming of another world, one that makes you smile
To help yourself escape for a while
When you wake up
And slip into the hope of the world you make up
Do you even know
That you're living in the afterglow
When you wake up
And slip into the hope of the world you make up
Roll back the years
To hold back your tears
To the picture on the wall
The princess of the ball
The rise before the fall
Dreaming of tomorrow just to try and find a way
To help yourself escape from today
When you wake up
And slip into the hope of the world you make up
Roll back the years
To hold back your tears
You're hanging on
To the world inside your mind
The place where you reside
Where you go to hide
Dreaming of another world, one that makes you smile
To help yourself escape for a while
When you wake up
And slip into the hope of the world you make up
Do you even know
That you're living in the afterglow
When you wake up
And slip into the hope of the world you make up
Roll back the years
To hold back your tears
