Flogging Molly - From the Back of a Broken Dream lyrics

As your soul drips from the plate To the floor where she is standing Her eyes lit by the fire From the torch you were burning Many years brought many tears And many more will soon be arriving But I'll drink this final drop To enter your front door Gone are the days when I poured from the rain Where once, once washed a man going down life's drain In time, in time you will see just what you mean to me For I have let an angel clip my wings Come back, young volunteer For your war, now it is over Lay down your blackened gun Not another bad word spoken Come tell of all you've seen To the soul you're no longer k**ing And rest your weary voice The last battle song has cried Gone are the days when I poured from the rain Where once, once washed a man going down life's drain In time, in time you will see just what you mean to me For I have let an angel clip my wings Oh, an angel clipped my wings from the back of this broken dream So no ground need ever break my fall again For I return to sing this tune From the back of a broken dream Time won't hurry back, time won't stall Time to forget the past, brush the cobwebs from the wall For I survived to sing this tune From the back of a broken dream For an angel clipped my wings from the back of this broken dream So no ground need ever break my fall again For I return to sing this tune From the back of a broken dream
