Are you there? I know it's late so please forgive my persistance but I'm hanging, do you care? So lay back call of the attack Cause if you look deep dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek is a final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep--- If I could just sleep Verse 2 Hey there you, way out there could you show me just a signal, or a sign? That after all, all these years that you've known me that I'm not just, killing time. So lay back call off the attack Cause if you look deep dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek is a final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep--- If I could just sleep And as I lay there late at night building castles in the air All those alibis and all those little lies then I look inside and pray that I don't care.... I don't care I don't care Hey there you, way out there in the distance.... ------------------------------------------------------------- That's about it. If I've butchered the song or lyrics in any way, I'm sorry. This is a really cool song to sit around and play. I hope someone appreciates this tab, and the band. Long live Criss! He's a hell of a player! _____________________________________________________________ Transcribed by: Joe Kelly Jkelly%dnet.uhavax@ipgate.hartford.edu Jkelly@uhavax.hartford.edu If anyone's into: Savatage, Y & T, Dream Theater, Mr. Reality, Blue Murder, or anything else, drop me a line
