From the Back of a Broken Dream

As your soul drips from the plate

To the floor where she is standing

Her eyes lit by the fire

From the torch you are burning

Many years brought many tears

And many more will soon be arriving

But I'll drink this final drop

To enter your front door

Gone are the days

When I poured from the rain

Where once, once washed a man

Going down life's drain

Oh in time, in time you will see

Just what you mean to me

For I have let an angel clip my wings

Come back young volunteer

For your war now it is over

Lay down your blackened gun

Not another bad word spoken

Come tell of all you've seen

To the soul you're no longer killing

And rest your weary voice

The last battle song has cried

Gone are the days

When I poured from the rain

Where once once washed a man

Going down life's drain

Oh in time, in time you will see

Just what you mean to me

For I have let an angel clip my wings

Oh, an angel clipped my wings

From the back of a broken dream

So no ground need ever

break my fall again

For I return to sing this tune

From the back of a broken dream

Time won't hurry back

Time won't stall

Time to forget the past

Brush the cobwebs from the wall

For I survived to sing this tune

From the back of a broken dream

For an angel clipped my wings

From the back of a broken dream

So no ground need ever

break my fall again

For I return to sing this tune

From the back of a broken dream

For I return to sing this tune

From the back of a broken dream
