Generate meaning
1
Caught in the vice of heaven and earth
2
he turned his life into a cell
3
imprisoned by the doubts which hound us all
4
and those desires which we all know so well
5
His days he lost to promises, his nights he purged of dreams
6
and he would wake in the hours before sunrise
7
and dread the coming of the day
8
Never thought a man could become so desperate
9
never thought a life could lose so much hope
10
to be tearing at the roots around you
11
as if in manacles, or irons, or ropes
12
They say he told his children that all he taught was lost
13
that love and pride and honesty
14
were to be gained at too high a cost
15
It's been thirty summers that I've spent with him
16
and I expect thirty more to pass
17
he has blessed my life in so many ways
18
that I could never turn my back
19
But I need just one more reminder
20
of the man that he used to be
21
if he would just look deep into my eyes
22
and say it's in you my love that I will find the key
