lyrics

5 years

Through broken teeth and phony love, 5 years ago, standing not certain at all
Of some protection from the morning light and the warmth amongst when you kissed your mother goodnight
Dreams can be waken from, and its for you to know, that with the bitterness of broken dreams, comes a little hope.

Oh only child, go on take your seat, alone I sat, I am still haunted by love lost
On the delta bright, with its jealous eyes, seemingly overnight
Hope can be compassed by, and they’ll force you to show,
That the television set of creed, melts the art below

The fatal crash came before the dawn, with its metal shrieks, could be heard in the valley beyond
Our memories that once danced on the lawn, played their part, and now they are almost gone
Dreams can be broken down, and lost in the ground, but the years go by and ours still can be found.
