On The Back Of A Broken Dream Lyrics - Float - Flogging Molly

As your soul drifts on the plate 

To the floor where she is standing 

Rising by the fire 

From the torch you were burning 

Many years but many tears 

And many more will soon be arriving 

But I drink this final drop 

To enter your front door 

Gone are the days 

When I poured from the rain 

Where once, once marched a man 

Going down life's drain 

Oh, in time, time you will see 

Just what you mean to me 

For I have met an angel 

Clip my wings 

Come back young volunteer 

For your war, now it is over 

Lay down your blackened gun 

Not another bad word spoken 

Come tell of all you've seen 

To the soul you're no longer killing 

And rest your weary voice 

The last battle song has cried 

Gone are the days 

When I poured from the rain 

Where once, once marched a man 

Going down life's drain 

Oh, in time, time you will see 

Just what you mean to me 

For I have met an angel 

Clip my wings 

Oh, an angel clipped my wings 

From the back of this broken dream 

So they'll probably never break my fall again 

For I return to sing this tune 

From the back of a broken dream 

Time won't hurry back, time won't stall 

Time to forget the past 

Brush the cobwebs from the wall 

Oh, for I survived to sing this tune 

From the back of a broken dream 

For an angel clipped my wings 

From the back of this broken dream 

So they'll probably never break my fall again 

For I return to sing this tune 

From the back of a broken 

For I return to sing this tune 

From the back of a broken dream
