Early one morning
The clinic sates
The sun shines on
Your handsome face
If the clinic dose is not enough
Ya fret and pace for a different drug
All this time we were waiting by
For that reanimating spark of life
At the bottom of our wishing well
Our quarters clanked and our hearts just fell
I am the holder of a distant dream
That ties the love you had for me
Untethering
That dream from my reality
And what I hoped we'd be
And I cried and I cried when I wrote this song
And I might have tried but it came out wrong
Never had the words to reach you
I've pled so long
That my song rang shrill
I've agonized and strategized
For some sage advice
That would save your life
It's a road you walk alone, love
That's the worst of all these
Bitter pills
It is a vacant dream
That ties the love that you had for me
Untethering
That dream from my reality
Untethering
Oh, before we know
You were swallowed, swallowed
Oh before we know
In sorrow, sorrow
I may never hear your amends
You may never make it right
You may never know my kids
You may never know my wife
We may never get to talk
On that old swing set
Down by our parent's house
Like we did when we were kids
But I know we're his children
Yeah I know we're His children
We are not forgotten
You are not forgotten
We were once in our Eden
It cannot be forgotten
There were snakes in our garden
There were snakes in our garden
Oh, before we know
You were swallowed, swallowed
Oh, before we know
We were swallowed, swallowed
Oh, before we know
We were swallowed, swallowed
AndI know we're his children
Yeah, I've heard we're God's children
And I've heard there's forgiveness
Do you think there's forgiveness
