Under a blackened sky   far beyond the glaring streetlights   sleeping on empty dreams   the vultures lie in wait   You lay down beside me then   you were with me every waking hour   so close I could feel your breath         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 their years         Pressed up against the glass   I found myself wanting sympathy   but to be consumed again   oh I know would be the death of me   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         When all we wanted was the dream   to have and to hold that precious little thing   like every generation yields   the newborn hope unjaded by their years         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         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 their years.
