Shades of White - The Calling Lyrics

Take your time and say goodbye
We've seen this house too many times
There's something here, I see it near
It sends cold shivers down my spine

Remind me why we keep on coming
Surely you've been taken for a ride

Once again we're here again
And once again you can't explain
You said no more but we're here once more
What's the truth, I ask again

Remind me why this strange attraction
What's the pull that leads you to this place

I'm forever drawn to here
There's tie that won't break
When afar all I here is
It's calling
I do my best to drown it out
But in my dreams I'm told I must come home
This is where I belong

Time and time again you say
You're drawn to here, it makes no sense
You play the card of mystery
But all I see is hysteria

You tell yourself you have no control
But all I see is you take me for a ride

Please believe me when I say to you
I have no control
I have tried to ignore this
This calling
I do my best to drown it out
But in my dreamsI'm told I must come home
It's calling me, telling me
This is were I belong

You have a choice, now make your choice
Don't keep me hanging in this void
You told me once, you're here to stay
But now that seems so far away

I could never leave you
I would not deceive you
The vows we said remain the same
This voice inside won't make that change

I wish I could believe you
I wish I didn't doubt you
But all I see is you distracted
Lost in thought, drifting from the now

How can you say that
With everything we've been through
My loyalty has never wained
Even when your eyes wandered

Now it's come to this, I don't know you
Chase away all the tears, I can't fight you
When did this begin
A change in what we feel
This is not what we are
Something's changed
This is not what we are
Something's changed, something...

Listen, listen, listen
Can't you hear it now (Come away now)
Listen, listen, listen
As clear as day now (Come with me now)
Listen, listen, listen
She calls my name now (Come away now)
Listen, listen, listen
I have to go now (Come to me now)...

Patiently, I await your coming
And through the glass, I see you there
I call your name, you seem to hear
I call again, you don't come in
Our chords are tied, this is the truth
But something stops you coming through
Eternally waiting for you to respond
Come home please to me now
It's where you belong

Now through the doorway
I sense a changing
A flow of memories come flooding back to me
I know this place now
I hear your voice now
Come show yourself to me so I can clearly see
The air is clearer
The air is fresh here
It brings me peace and makes me feel that I'm alive
I know this story
I've lived this story
I know it's you whose been the one whose calling me
My sister

At last you've entered
How long I've waited
Come come close so I can clearly see
This place is prepared for you
It's how it was when we were young
The sense of joy it used to bring
I have waited for this day
I have longed to see your face
Your smile, your grace, its calling me
My sister

She's gone and lost her common sense
She's gone against all that she said
She's gone inside despite of me
I told her no and she agreed

Yet here I am, I stand alone
Lost and frightened, Questions why
Why this place enchanted her
My sweetness

How long have I to wait
How long before you appear
This can't be happening
I pray for your return
But now your gone
(How long have I been gone
How long have you been here
I missed you when you passed
I pray for your return
And now you're home)

I'd follow you but to where?
There is no place to hide
There is nothing but litter and cobwebs
You've answered to your calling now
I should have been the one to hold your hand
But now it's too late

I would follow you and hold you
But where have you gone
You have disappeared to nowhere
I've lost you
You've answered to your calling now
I should have been the one to hold your hand
But now it's too late
You've been called back home.

A welcome home
And finally
The circle now complete as it should be
I was lost but now I've found you
Now back home
I feel at peace
I've travelled far, I've searched for you in vain
I was lost now I'm found
I've been called back home

The Calling has awoken, unbroken, now hear
Calling you back home
You listened, you waited, you longed for, you're here
Calling you back home
You future, continues, finally complete
Calling you back home
The Calling, welcomes you back home
Calling you back home
