Broken Parable

(álbum: Red Earth & Pouring Rain - 2016)

I feel the reins in my fingers,
I feel 'em 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 rib cage,
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 would
May you always be.

Now I'm just a broken parable
Values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
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
Awake in the evening
Hoping the sun will shine again
But my colts they have all gone now
And all that I could not contain
Though the seasons may change
Love is all that remains

Now I'm just a broken parable
Values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
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

Now I'm just a broken parable
Values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
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

Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
I'm dying to be born again.

Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
I'm dying to be born again.
