broken parable

Singer: bear's den

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

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

awake 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

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

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.
