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 pass 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 wеre relievеd 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
