Under
a blackened sky
Far beyond the glaring streetlights
Sleeping on empty dreams
The vultures lie in wait.
You
lay down beside me then
You were with me every waking hour
So close I could feel your breath.
When
all we wanted was the dream
To have and to hold
That precious little thing
Like every generation yields
The new born hope unjaded by the years.
Pressed
up against the glass
I found myself wanting sympathy
But to be consumed again
Oh I know would be the death of me
And
there is a love that's inherently given
A kind of blindness offered to deceive
And in that light of forbidden joy
Oh I know I won't receive it.
When
all we wanted was the dream
To have and to hold
That precious little thing
Like every generation yields
The newborn hope unjaded by their years.
You
know if I leave you now
It doesn't mean I love you any less
Its just the state I'm in
I can't be good to anyone else like this.
When
all we wanted was the dream
To have and to hold
That precious little thing
Like every generation yields
The newborn hope unjaded by their years...
