The manners of the heart

We watched them grow

Did we write everlasting love,

In the hollywood snow



The ribbons and the bows

Wrapped us with gold

Such pressure heaven knows

As the fairy tale folds



Who heals the broken ones

When love has gone

You're not the only ones



In an older time when the world was small

When good men were standing

Reaching out for mother love

When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart

Never thought i'd see

You fallin' away from me



Beneath the darker sky

The stars are such a mess

Can you forward my good-byes

To some new address

Who heals the broken ones

When love has gone

You're not the only ones



In an older time when the world was small

When good men were standing

Reaching out for mother love

When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart

Never thought i'd see

You fallin' away from me



You can't turn back time

We're stranded here

Leave the future behind



You're not the only ones



In an older time when the world was small

When good men were standing

Reaching out for mother love

When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart

Never thought i'd see

You fallin' away from me
