Текст песни Take Away My Pain (demo version 1996 - 1997) - Dream Theater

I was sittin' on the edge of his bed
Starin' at the headlines on the paper
He said "Look at poor Gene Kelly"
I guess he won't be singin' in the rain

You can take away my heroes
Can you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain
Don't stumble on my pride

Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knockin' at your door

She was standin' by the edge of his bed
Starin' at the message on their faces
He said "What else can you do babe?
I guess I won't be comin' home again

They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain, oh

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain
Don't stumble on my pride

Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knockin' at your door

His final scene
The actor bows
And all those years
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls

There'll be no longer
After all

I was sittin' on the edge of my bed
Starin' at the paper through my tears
I was sayin' goodbye to Jesus
World you left will never be the same

You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It's time to let it rain
There's nothin' left to hide

Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
I'm learnin' to survive
Without you in my life
'Til you come knockin' at my door, oh
