What Dreams May Come
Bill sweats his life out loading boxes on the dock.
He eats, sleeps and breathes by the ticking of the clock.
Has a dead-end job that can barely make ends meet.
Wonders why the grass is greener across the street.
Chorus:
Some dreams flash across the sky,
in a burning flame of light.
Most dreams fade slowly away,
into the dark of the night
People dream of having fame,
dream of gold and diamond rings.
Some try not to dream because,
they know what broken dreams will bring.
Jane smokes two packs a day, drinks a bottle each night.
Has a tire around her hips, her lid’s not on tight.
She’s given up all hope of finding Mr. Right.
Now she only cries and screams when she dreams at night.
Repeat Chorus:
Some dreams flash across the sky,
in a burning flame of light.
Most dreams fade slowly away,
into the dark of the night
People dream of having fame,
dream of gold and diamond rings.
Some try not to dream because,
they know what broken dreams will bring.
Sue left for the city, had a modeling gig.
She knew she had what it would take to make it big.
Momma prayed for her baby not to come to harm.
They found her today with a needle in her arm.
Repeat Chorus:
Some dreams flash across the sky,
in a burning flame of light.
Most dreams fade slowly away,
into the dark of the night
People dream of having fame,
dream of gold and diamond rings.
Some try not to dream because,
they know what broken dreams will bring.
