[Intro]
[Verse]
To recall this time
For you and I to come together
To recognise
Just how badly our hearts were broken
[Verse]
All the flowers fade
Now the stars pale
As this bitter beauty
Grabs you by the tail
[Verse]
How long will you hesitate?
Halfway up the trail
Yes, it s dark in the trees
And some wounds never heal
[Chorus]
And you re dreaming
With eyes wide open
Your heart has spoken
For the first time
[Verse]
All the gun-for-hire poets
Who try to sing so loud
Just to drown out the roar
As the bombs hit the ground
[Verse]
And the band is whistling Dixie
For the sentimental sake
That s the sound and the fury
Of this new dark day
[Chorus]
And you re dreaming
With eyes wide open
Your heart has spoken
For the first time
For the first time
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
All the penny wishes
And trickle-down schemes
And Cracker Jack box prizes
Splitting at the seams
[Verse]
And you re stand in the doorway
With your hair all in a mess
You in all your glory
Wondering what comes next
[Chorus]
And you re dreaming
With eyes wide open
Your heart has spoken
For the first time
[Chorus]
And you re dreaming
With eyes wide open
Your heart has spoken
For the first time
[Chorus]
And you re dreaming
With eyes wide open
Your heart has spoken
For the first time
For the first time
