"Broken Dreams"
Looking back on all that we’ve been through
All we gave up so lightly
Broken pieces of the life we knew
Lie scattered all around me
How can I our love not survive
A love that once lit our lives so brightly
Those days have gone it seems
Now all that’s left are broken dreams
Where there was light there’s darkness here
Where there was joy there’s loneliness and fear
If only I could find a way to mend these broken dreams
Like a boat lost on a lonely sea
I steer a course uncharted
Searching for the way life used to be
Alone and broken-hearted
A world now filled with despair
Why can’t we go back to when we started
Those days have gone it seems
Now all that’s left are broken dreams
Where there was love there’s heartache here
Where there was hope there’s loneliness and fear
If only I could find a way to mend these broken dreams
And though my world seems shattered now
There has to be a way through this somehow
Escape from all this pain, find happiness again
Return to who we used to be
Re-light the flame of love that set us free
Where there was light there’s darkness here
Where there was joy there’s loneliness and fear
If only I could fly on broken wings through this broken sky
Back to the life I knew before
Back to a world of love and light once more
If only I could find a way to mend these broken dreams
I know that I must find a way to mend these broken dreams
Music & Lyrics - Chris Broom
