| [00:19.84] |
Under a blackened sky |
| [00:25.32] |
far beyond the glaring streetlights |
| [00:29.56] |
sleeping on empty dreams |
| [00:33.78] |
the vultures lie in wait |
| [00:38.50] |
You lay down beside me then |
| [00:43.57] |
you were with me every waking hour |
| [00:48.68] |
so close I could feel your breath |
| [00:56.45] |
|
| [00:58.20] |
When all we wanted was the dream |
| [01:03.08] |
to have and to hold that precious little thing |
| [01:08.16] |
like every generation yields |
| [01:12.81] |
the new born hope unjaded by their years |
| [01:20.65] |
|
| [01:26.90] |
Pressed up against the glass |
| [01:32.81] |
I found myself wanting sympathy |
| [01:37.37] |
but to be consumed again |
| [01:41.69] |
oh I know would be the death of me |
| [01:46.13] |
and there is a love that's inherently given |
| [01:50.94] |
a kind of blindness offered to appease |
| [01:56.54] |
and in that light of forbidden joy |
| [02:01.23] |
oh I know I won't receive it |
| [02:05.24] |
|
| [02:06.32] |
When all we wanted was the dream |
| [02:10.98] |
to have and to hold that precious little thing |
| [02:15.86] |
like every generation yields |
| [02:20.60] |
the newborn hope unjaded by their years |
| [02:28.14] |
|
| [02:44.57] |
You know if I leave you now |
| [02:50.20] |
It doesn't mean that I love you any less |
| [02:55.13] |
it's just the state I'm in |
| [02:59.04] |
I can't be good to anyone else like this |
| [03:03.80] |
|
| [03:05.06] |
When all we wanted was the dream |
| [03:09.36] |
to have and to hold that precious little thing |
| [03:14.17] |
like every generation yields |
| [03:18.85] |
the new born hope unjaded by their years. |
| [03:26.78] |
