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 Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times 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 And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame
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
And still i dream he'll come to me That we'll live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different from what it seemed
Now life has killed The dream i dreamed.
