Kill the Tigers

I Dreamed A Dream - Susan Boyle

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hopes were high and life worth living,

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid,

When dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be payed,

No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night,

With their voices soft as thunder,

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dreams to shame

And still I dreamed he'd come to me

And we would live the years together,

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
