Marillion

Marillion are a British rock band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979. Their recorded studio output since 1982 is composed of seventeen albums generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. All four albums released with Fish were commercial successes, and the band released eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single. more »

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)
