[00:22.18]Under a blackened sky
[00:25.43]Far beyond the glaring streetlights
[00:30.72]Sleeping on empty dreams
[00:34.25]The vultures lie in wait.
[00:40.20]You lay down beside me then
[00:44.88]You were with me every waking hour
[00:50.07]So close I could feel your breath.
[00:59.52]When all we wanted was the dream
[01:03.43]To have and to hold
[01:05.42]That precious little thing
[01:08.81]Like every generation yields
[01:13.09]The new born hope unjaded by the years.
[01:29.71]Pressed up against the glass
[01:33.33]I found myself wanting sympathy
[01:38.57]But to be consumed again
[01:41.65]Oh I know would be the death of me
[01:47.42]And there is a love that's inherently given
[01:52.32]A kind of blindness offered to appease
[01:57.68]And in that light of forbidden joy
[02:01.29]Oh I know I won't receive it.
[02:07.10]When all we wanted was the dream
[02:11.33]To have and to hold that precious little thing
[02:16.76]Like every generation yields
[02:21.06]The newborn hope unjaded by their years
[02:46.79]You know if I leave you now
[02:50.72]It doesn't mean that I love you any less
[02:55.88]It's just the state I'm in
[02:59.28]I can't be good to anyone else like this.
[03:05.56]When all we wanted was the dream
[03:09.43]To have and to hold that precious little thing
[03:15.03]Like every generation yields
[03:19.24]The new born hope unjaded by their years...
