Broken Parable - Fragments

I feel the reins in my fingers

Feel it 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 ribcage

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 were

May you always be

Now i’m just a broken parable

Of values i used to hold

Somewhere i lost it all

But 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

All that i could not contain

Though the seasons may change

Love is all that remains

Now i’m just some broken parable

Of values i used to hold

Somewhere i lost it all

But babe, I’m dying to be born again

Lost footsteps in the snow

Down the paths we used to know

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?

Did i not love enough?
