I see you, now and then, in dreams; your voice sounds just like it used to, I know you better than I knew you then, all I can say is, "I love you," I thought our days were commonplace; thought they'd number in the millions, Now there's only the aftertaste of circumstance that can't pa** this way again. Treasure of the broken land, Parched earth, give up your captive ones, Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones. I saw the city at its tortured worst, and you were outside the walls there, You were relieved of a lifelong thirst, and I was dry at the fountain, I knew that you could see my shame, but you were eyeless and sparing, I awoke when you called my name, I felt the curtain tearing. Treasure of the broken land, Parched earth, give up your captive ones, Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones. I could melt the clock hands down, but only in my memory, Nobody gets a second chance to be the friend they meant to be, I see you now and then in dreams; your voice sounds just like it used to, I believe I will hear it again, Oh, how I love you. Treasure of the broken land, Parched earth, give up your captive ones, Waiting wind of Gabriel, blow soon upon the hollow bones, oh.
