Greg "Grey" Perkins - Shuttered Door Lyrics

She sits in the garden dreaming of one that would take her love away
And in the springtime such a newborn but age gathered faster each and every day oh lord why
And in the summer when he stood there she couldn't see him oh lord why
And in the winter all the withering and she would cry
Lord bring my time back
She screams oh lord why

Only for this day can we live
If we never get another take this chance and live
Only for this day can we live
If we never take another we may never get another chance again

His dream wasted as he stood in those construction lines
Always dreaming of a future where water would turn to wine
And the sweat didn't get him any closer to his tomorrow
Got his gray and the shattered dreams that followed
He screams oh lord why

They held hands walking from the schoolyard always loving
Thinking about the two degrees and the house on the hill that someday they would buy
With the drugs and a new kid they could never make it happen
Now in the bottoms with less that they could have imagined and they scream oh lord why
