Need help with Wild Swans lyrics!

Postby WaverBoy » Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:15 am

So, I need help with lyrics for Bible Dreams by The Wild Swans. Here's what I've deciphered so far:

I loved the world when we were poor
When winter banged on summer's door
The pain was April rain upon my skin

I sheltered as each friend was tamed
And shackled by the wedding game
Life has left this stain upon my skin

Soldier boy
Soldier on
Your eyes are cold
And the spark is gone

My blackest days were banished white
I prayed upon my darkest night
Bible dreams ??????????????
I slept beside this angry ?????
In faith alive and far from harm
???????????????????????????????

Soldier boy
Soldier on
Your eyes are cold
And the spark is gone
I've chosen you
To bear the stain
For God has left this world bereft
And the scars remain
The scars remain

Can anyone help me with those missing bits? Thanks in advance!

Did you get this figured out? I took your lyrics and tried to figure out the rest but those two lines are quite difficult.


I loved the world when we were poor
When winter banged on summer's door
Pain was April rain upon my skin

I sheltered as each friend was tamed
And shackled by the wedding game
Life has left this stain upon my skin

Soldier boy
Soldier on
Your eyes are cold
And the spark is gone

My blackest days were bandage white
I prayed upon my darkest night
And bible dreams the lives/lies of .....
I slept beside this angry calm
Kept faith alive and far from harm
It's ... then they'll die, boys still bond

Soldier boy
Soldier on
Your eyes are cold
And the spark is gone
They've chosen you
To bear the stain
For God has left this world bereft
And the scars remain
The scars remain
