Lyrics You Lose Your Dreams - Big Country

You Lose Your Dreams

Cover it up in ivory cool
My logic fails with a winter fools
I feel music that is wild and free
And I know the fire and the fire knows me
You looked at me with those tired eyes
Said, «It's time you realize
You must grow up, that time has come»
But I just smiled and I sang this song
Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine
Looked at him with no surprise
I said, «Long time since I realized
As my body grows old my loving grows
I still touch the vision
I still smell the rose»
Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine
You let them fly
I let them carry me
You let them die
I let them flourish here
Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine
Cover it up in ivory cool
My logic fails with a winter fools
For I feel the music that is wild and free
And I know the fire and the fire knows me
Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
