Bible Dream Lyrics

Wild Swans Bible Dream

i loved the world when we were poor
when winter banged on summer's door
pain was april rain upon my skin
i sheltered as each friend was tamed
and shackled by the wedding game
life has left a stain upon my skin
soldier boy sold your arms
your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
my blackest days were banished white
i prayed upon my darkest night
bible dreams the lives of all aboard
i slept beside this angry town
kept faith alive and far from harm
torn up and i'll die a boy still born
soldier boy sold your arms
your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
they chose in you to bear the stain
but god has left this world we're at
and the scars remain, the scars remain
