Broken Parable – Fragments

(album: Fragments - 2020)

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
Of 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
I wake 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
Of 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
Of 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
