If These Are the Things |
| If these are the things that |
| Dreams are made of Why don’t I dream |
| Anymore |
| I’ve tried to tell myself |
| Nothing’s changed my dear |
| But I look around me And think maybe that’s not so I only have nightmares |
| And wake up with cold sweat |
| Coming through my pores |
| Why don’t I dream anymore |
| I’m in the garden |
| All the trees bear fruit |
| I have to pick them before they fall |
| I finally grab one |
| I hold it in my hand |
| I open it up It’s rotten to the core |
| Why don’t I dream anymore |
| If these are the things that |
| Dreams are made of Why don’t I dream |
| Anymore |
| We lose our patience |
| Lose our trust |
| Yes we lose our innocence |
| To forget our sorrow and hide our pain |
| We lose old memories |
| But dreams are what life’s worth living for |
| I wish I could dream |
| Once more |
| I’m in the garden |
| All the trees bear fruit |
| I have to pick them before they fall |
| I finally grab one |
| I hold it in my hand |
| I open it up It’s rotten to the core |
| Why don’t I dream anymore |
| If these are the things that |
| Dreams are made of Why don’t I dream anymore |
| I’ve tried to tell myself |
| It’s all for the best my dear |
| But I look around me and think |
| Maybe that’s not so I only have nightmares |
| Wake up in a cold sweat |
| Have I become as corrupt |
| As all I abhor |
| I’m in the garden |
| All the trees bear fruit |
| I have to pick them before they fall |
| I finally grab one |
| I hold it in my hand |
| I open it up It’s rotten to the core |
| Why don’t I dream anymore |
| If these are the things that |
| Dreams are made of If these are the things that |
| Dreams are made of If these are the things that |
| Dreams are made of I don’t want anymore |
