Broken Parable - Fragments
I feel the reins in my fingers
Feel it all just slip away
I open my eyes
And i fall behind
So i run towards the stables
But the colts have bolted now
And i watch them fly
Out into the night
Out into the night
I felt a shiver in my ribcage
And i can feel the fever grow
No more hanging on
But i can't let go
I jump from sweat in the night love
But i swear you came to me
Just as you always were
May you always be
Now i’m just a broken parable
Of values i used to hold
Somewhere i lost it all
But babe, I’m dying to be born again
Lost footsteps in the snow
Down the paths we used to roam
Don’t say it was only love
Don’t say i didn’t love enough
Not a ripple in the water
Not a whisper in the wind
I wake in the evening
Hoping the sun will shine again
But my colts they have all gone now
All that i could not contain
Though the seasons may change
Love is all that remains
Now i’m just some broken parable
Of values i used to hold
Somewhere i lost it all
But babe, I’m dying to be born again
Lost footsteps in the snow
Down the paths we used to know
Don’t say it was only love
Don’t say i didn’t love enough
Did i not love enough?
Did i not love enough?
Did i not love enough?
Did i not love enough?
