|
Touch of silence |
|
I've been afflicted |
|
Border on violence |
|
So restricted is our love |
|
A vague remembrance |
|
A hair reminiscent |
|
Of lavender, honey, not a care for money |
|
And that someday maybe we would start |
|
A small family |
|
What a surprise we had in store |
|
Three years gone and our family's poor |
|
And we might be touching |
|
But we've never been any further apart |
|
Than we are now in this place |
|
What happened to the dream? |
|
I remember the first time |
|
And how I worked so hard |
|
For us to be touching |
|
At the river, our bodies entwined |
|
I ran my hands over goose bump skin |
|
I was so nervous on that evening |
|
And as I slipped off your faded-out blue jeans |
|
I remember thinking I'd do anything |
|
To make her happy |
|
Now those times are behind us |
|
I feel the same way I did that night |
|
I just wish we could show it |
|
I was controlled by an ugly habit |
|
Don't think I can't hear you crying |
|
When we lie in our bed where we sleep at night |
|
And we might be touching |
|
But we've never been any further apart |
|
Than we are now in this place |
|
What happened to the dream? |
|
So much I want to say to you |
|
If I could only find the heart |
|
Our daily lives seem to get in the way |
|
What happened to our dreams? |
|
If I were to tell you how much I care |
|
Would it make a change |
|
Could the wounds be healed? |
|
And if I asked you am I still the only one |
|
And we turned our backs on all the damage done |
|
I would give anything |
|
To stop all the crying here |
|
Cause God knows your the last person I wanted hurt |
|
And we might be touching |
|
But we've never been any further apart |
|
Than we are now in this place |
|
What happened to the dream? |
|
So much I want to say to you |
|
If I could only find the heart |
|
Our daily lives seem to get in the way |
|
What happened to the dreams? |
