"Broken Parable" lyrics
"Broken Parable"
I feel the reins in my fingers
I feel 'em 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 rib cage
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 would
May you always be
Now I'm just a broken parable
Of values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
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
And all that I could not contain
Though the seasons may change
Love is all that remains
Now I'm just a broken parable
Of values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
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
Now I'm just a broken parable
Of values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
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
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
I'm dying to be born again
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
I'm dying to be born again

Embrace - "At Once" At once
It doesn't have to happen all at once
Take as long as you will take
We can build it brick by brick
Everything collides at once
A sudden jolt and then you're gone
Done without a second...
William Fitzsimmons - "Light Years" You were waiting outside for me in the sun
Laying down to soak it all in before we had to run
I was always ten feet behind you from the start
Didn't know that you were gone 'til we were in the car...
Travis - "A Different Room" Once in a while I see what's going on
And disappear into the world
Behind the one that's here
It never lasts as long as a dream can last
And then I'm back into
The ways that make the days go fast
So...
Sons Of The East - "Fast And Slow" Standing on the edge of the storm on a still night
Waiting for a change comin' at the first light
Some she had searching from dawn
When he only ever saw the roses before
Off goes the gun, down low...
Tom Chaplin - "Quicksand" You'll be knocked out, come around
Shot down, shatter on the stony ground
Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be
Your dreams will come true, fall through
Screw you, batter you to black and blue
Yeah...
