From the Back of a Broken Dream Lyrics

As your soul drips from the plate, to the floor where she is standing.
Her eyes lit by the fire, from the torch are you 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 goin' down life's drain.
In time, in time you'll 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 you've seen too the soul you 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 goin' down life's drain.
In time, in time you'll see just what you mean to me.
For I have let an angel clip my wings.
An angel clipped my wings on 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 wont stall.
Time to forget the past, brush the cobwebs from the wall.
For I survived to sing this tune
From the back of this broken dream.

An angel clipped my wings on 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.
