[00:22.72]Under a blackened sky
[00:23.85]
[00:25.97]far beyond the glaring streetlights
[00:31.36]sleeping on empty dreams
[00:34.55]the vultures lie in wait
[00:41.11]You lay down beside me then
[00:45.41]you were with me every waking hour
[00:47.85]
[00:50.69]so close I could feel your breath
[00:58.28]
[00:59.97]When all we wanted was the dream
[01:02.16]
[01:04.41]to have and to hold that precious little thing
[01:08.91]like every generation yields
[01:13.71]the new born hope unjaded by their years
[01:19.14]
[01:30.14]Pressed up against the glass
[01:32.21]
[01:34.33]I found myself wanting sympathy
[01:36.02]
[01:39.52]but to be consumed again
[01:41.89]oh I know would be the death of me
[01:46.14]
[01:47.64]and there is a love that's inherently given
[01:51.09]
[01:52.64]a kind of blindness offered to appease
[01:57.72]and in that light of forbidden joy
[02:01.80]oh I know I won't receive it
[02:04.93]
[02:07.68]When all we wanted was the dream
[02:10.36]
[02:11.87]to have and to hold that precious little thing
[02:16.43]
[02:17.11]like every generation yields
[02:19.74]
[02:21.68]the newborn hope unjaded by their years
[02:26.74]
[02:47.37]You know if I leave you now
[02:51.70]It doesn't mean that I love you any less
[02:55.70]
[02:56.51]it's just the state I'm in
[02:59.76]I can't be good to anyone else like this
[03:04.11]
[03:05.86]When all we wanted was the dream
[03:09.73]to have and to hold that precious little thing
[03:13.98]
[03:15.30]like every generation yields
[03:16.77]
[03:19.91]the new born hope unjaded by their years.
