A summer's night, I opened you
when I had lost it all
Ivory wings, they gently flew
Into a painless fall,

I gained a friend who no-one knew
Who helped me think and see
I trusted and respected you
But you brought the world down on me,

yeah

**Tearing apart what I used to be
Purity's gone and I'll never see
My children grow up or my hair turn gray
All I can do is waste away
And hope to see the sun
Rise upon another day.

I should have known you'd tell the lies
I should have known you'd break the ties
I should have known you'd not compromise
I should have known you'd bring tears ... to my eyes

**Tearing apart what I used to be
Purity's gone and I'll never see
A day of redemption with warm spring rain
Washing away the white in my veins
Leaving me a whole world to claim ...

But all I can do is fade away
And hope to see the sun ...
Rise on another day.

Right in time for the holidays
