Lyrics
1ST VERSE:
OURS WAS A FABLED
FAIRY TALE LOVE
THAT SHATTERED LIKE CRYSTAL
WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE
CAST BY THE WAYSIDE
COMPLETELY DERAILED
THE HARDER WE TRIED
THE FASTER WE FAILED
2ND VERSE:
GONE ARE THE GOOD DAYS
THAT YOU AND I HAD
THE TIMES YOU RECALL ARE
ONLY THE BAD
I LIVED WITHOUT YOU BEFORE
I CAN DO IT AGAIN
NOT A QUESTION OF IF
BUT ONLY OF WHEN
CHORUS:
IF I COULD BIND UP THESE MEMORIES
WITH A RIBBON AND BOW
THERE MIGHT BE HOPE THAT I COULD LET GO
AND IF I MOVED ON, THEN SOMEBODY NEW
MIGHT HELP ME FORGET ABOUT YOU
PEDAL STEEL SOLO
3RD VERSE:
WHEN YOUR HEAD HITS THE PILLOW
AS YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
WHERE DO YOUR THOUGHTS GO
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
DO YOU DREAM OF THE FUTURE
OR RELIVE THE PAST
ARE YOUR HOPES ALL
FADING TOO FAST
CHORUS:
IF I COULD BIND UP THESE MEMORIES
WITH A RIBBON AND BOW
THERE MIGHT BE HOPE THAT I COULD LET GO
AND IF I MOVED ON, THEN SOMEBODY NEW
MIGHT HELP ME FORGET ABOUT YOU
REPEAT CHORUS ONE TIME
VOCAL TAG:
OURS WAS A FABLED
FAIRY TALE LOVE
