Lying in this broken cage
I dreamed of you and me
Dancing beneath the old
Beautiful apple tree
Mother, I miss how you
Always kissed me good night
Father, I miss how you
Told me your gentle lies
Still, I long for the memories of home
We're running after the
Shadows of innocence
Knowing they can't be reached
Lying in this broken cage
I dreamed of you and me
Hearing a gunshot that
Shattered our fantasy
Lord, won't you save me
From all this sorrow and pain?
Lord, won't you let me forgive
My weakness and shame?
Still, I long for the memories of home
We're running after the
Shadows of innocence
Knowing they can't be reached
