Lyrics

[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]
