Broken Parable - Fragments - Bear's Den, Paul Frith

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
