Lyrics
catherine the night is closing in all around me
I like the dream sometime better than the real thing
this night's got bones I can hold it up alone
my body's waying on me like a stone
prechorus:
oh my hearts not able
you blame time, it's so stable you can't control it
chorus:
Hey Catherine come on in
Hey catherine take away my sins
hey catherine knock upon my door
hey catherine come on board
I dont' like it in wind i wanna go back home again
catherine these tears are drowning
the streetlights fall accross the sky like stars
and the last thing you find out is who you are
pre chorus
