Shattered Dreams

By Bruce Clifford

My mind can't think straight

I know the time is getting late

All these conversations keep playing in my mind

Wish I could find a place for us to hide

Every moment the noise holds me down

There are no secrets in this crazy desperate town

Wish I could show you just what you mean to me

Every moment remembering shattered dreams

Shattered dreams of desperation

Shattered dreams I can't protect

Shattered dreams and inspiration

Shattered dreams of empty souls and neglect

My can't can't think beyond this shattered dream 

My heart can't decide what this broken heart could mean

All these years circling under the stars

Every moment trying to remember who we are

Shattered dreams of desperation

Shattered dreams I can't protect

Shattered dreams and inspiration

Shattered dreams of empty souls and neglect

Shattered dreams of emptiness and fear

Shattered dreams of the chill and the void

Shattered dreams that won't disappear

Shattered dreams that were too hard to avoid

My mind can't think straight

I know the time is getting late

All these conversations keep playing in my mind

Wish I could find a place for us to hide
