lyrics

HERO

In your mind life was skipping on fast forward
Over time signs unnerved you the blindfold lowered

I didn't have the heart to tell you then
What happened never vanished round the bend
I hadn't learned to navigate the curves
In golden days you always were my hero

In the calm dogs were sleeping and I let them lie
While the harm was deceiving the last hope would die

I didn't have the heart to tell you how
What happened somehow managed to allow
I hadn't learned to navigate the hurt
In golden days you always were my hero my hero

What could I have done to help
You to resurrect yourself
Could you have stepped up to the plate
Burdened by unforeseen weight
I couldn't come to the rescue then
I couldn't come to the rescue

I didn't have the heart to tell you then
What happened never vanished round the bend
I hadn't learned to navigate the curves
In golden days you always were my hero my hero
