dreamed

There was a time when men were kind,
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was strong
And the song was exiting
Then it all wenr wrong

I dreamed a dream in time go by
When hope was high
And life was worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that god would be forgiving
Then i was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your drean to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days
With endless wonder
he took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when Autumn came

And still I dream he�d come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storma
We cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I�m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed
