Paroles
I see you, now and then, in dreams;
your voice sounds just like it used to
I know you better than I knew you
then, all I can say is, "I love you,"
I thought our days were commonplace;
thought they'd number in the millions
Now there's only the aftertaste of
circumstance that can't pass this way again
Treasure of the broken land
Parched earth, give up your captive ones
Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones
I saw the city at its tortured worst,
and you were outside the walls there
You were relieved of a lifelong thirst, I was dry at the fountain
Knew that you could see my shame, but you were eyeless and sparing
I awoke when you called my name, I felt the curtain tearing
Treasure of the broken land
Parched earth, give up your captive ones
Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones
I could melt the clock hands down, but only in my memory
Nobody gets a second chance to be the friend they meant to be
I see you now and then in dreams;
your voice sounds just like it used to
I believe I will hear it again
God, how I love you
Treasure of the broken land
Parched earth, give up your captive ones
Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones
Treasure of the broken land
Parched earth, give up your captive ones
Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones
Yeah, blow soon upon the hollow bones
