Intro

       
      

Verse

Under a blackened sky
Far beyond the glaring streetlights 
Sleeping on empty dreams
The vultures lie in wait  

Verse

You lay down beside me then
You were with me every waking hour 
So close I could feel your breath 

Chorus

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   

Verse

Pressed up against the glass
I found myself wanting sympathy  
But to be consumed again
Oh I know would be the death of me

Bridge

And there is a love that's inherently given
A kind of blindness offered to appease 
And in that light of forbidden joy
Oh I know I won't receive it  

Chorus

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

Interlude

      
      

Verse

You know if I leave you now
It doesn't mean that I love you any less  
It's just the state I'm in
I can't be good to anyone else like this 

Chorus

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
