Bible Dreams (Album Version)

Bible Dreams (Album Version) - The Wild Swans

I loved the world when we were poor

When winter banged on summer's door and pain was april rain upon my skin

I sheltered as each friend was tamed and shackled by the wedding game

Now life has left this stain upon my skin

Soldier boy soldier on

Your eyes are cold and the spark has gone

My blackest days were bandaged white I prayed upon my darkest night

And bible dreams the lives of former whores

I slept beside this angry calm kept faith alive and far from harm

Torn I've lived I'll die a boy stillborn

Soldier boy soldier on

Your eyes are cold and the spark has gone

They've chosen you to bear the stain

But God has left this world bereft and the scars remain
