Lyrics

[00:56.69] Under a blackened sky
[00:59.39]
[01:00.63] far beyond the glaring streetlights
[01:04.69]
[01:05.69] sleeping on empty dreams
[01:08.58]
[01:09.34] the vultures lie in wait
[01:12.52]
[01:15.21] You lay down beside me then
[01:17.89]
[01:19.53] you were with me every waking hour
[01:24.33] so close I could feel your breath
[01:29.98]
[01:33.03] When all we wanted was the dream
[01:36.79]
[01:37.35] to have and to hold that precious little thing
[01:42.39] like every generation yields
[01:46.52] the new born hope unjaded by their years
[01:53.71]
[02:02.21] Pressed up against the glass
[02:04.42]
[02:05.92] I found myself wanting sympathy
[02:09.86]
[02:10.99] but to be consumed again
[02:13.99] oh I know would be the death of me
[02:19.68] and there is a love that's inherently given
[02:24.87] a kind of blindness offered to appease
[02:29.80] and in that light of forbidden joy
[02:32.93] oh I know I won't receive it
[02:37.18]
[02:38.80] When all we wanted was the dream
[02:43.06] to have and to hold that precious little thing
[02:48.18] like every generation yields
[02:52.37] the newborn hope unjaded by their years
[02:58.54]
[03:17.76] You know if I leave you now
[03:20.45]
[03:21.76] It doesn't mean that I love you any less
[03:25.57]
[03:26.82] it's just the state I'm in
[03:29.20]
[03:29.70] I can't be good to anyone else like this
[03:34.26]
[03:35.64] When all we wanted was the dream
[03:39.01]
[03:39.82] to have and to hold that precious little thing
[03:45.02] like every generation yields
[03:49.26] the new born hope unjaded by their years.
