[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
In that light of forbidden joy
Oh I know I won't receive it
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
In that light of forbidden joy
Oh I know I won't receive it
