Before Its Time

I broke my heart
Before its time
I broke my heart
Before its time
And once the thread
Was pulled
I felt it unwind
I broke my heart
Before its time

I pulled on the door
One winter's night
I threw all my weight
And felt it unwind
And all the wild wind
Had gathered behind
I pulled on the door
One winter's night

I woke the beast
I kicked the lion
O to go back
To that space and time
A boy in body
A man in his mind
I broke my heart
Before its time
