Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
[Verse 2]
Then it all went wrong
[Verse 3]
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
[Verse 4]
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
[Verse 5]
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
[Verse 6]
And still I dream he'll come to me
We will live the years together
[Verse 7]
But there are dreams that can not be
And there are storms we can not weather
I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living
So different, now, from what it seemed
[Verse 8]
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed
