Premonitions

Premonitions come alive, you dream you fear you wait
bullets crack the silent night, no one lies where loved ones lay
though the wounds have bled dry, healed and gone away
sorrow sleeps in your eye and watches by the gate

tore me up with your eyes, shut me down with what you said
struck the mask where i hide, shot the pain straight through my head
you wished to live a simple life and watched it fall apart instead
you said nobody has the right
something tells me you will make me give my heart away
something tells me you will make me

they took away my flesh & blood, i still hear those cold hearts beat
but love will not be driven from me, love will not be driven from me
they took away my flesh & blood, i still hear those cold hearts beat
but love will not be driven from me, love will not be driven from me

people like me fear to lose the ones we call our own
and death has seldom been so close to lay our children in the ground
but in the deepest part of you, a mother's love is still so strong
you promise life and love will keep you
something tells me you will make me give my heart away
something tells me you will make me give my heart away
ooh, something tells me you will make me

they took away my flesh & blood, i still hear those cold hearts beat
but love will not be driven from me, love will not be driven from me
they took away my flesh & blood, i still hear those cold hearts beat
but love will not be driven from me, love will not be driven from me

love will not be driven from me, love will not be driven from me
oh, love will not be driven from me, love will not be driven from me
