My Shattered Illusions
Forgetting all that you knewHe doesn't feel it's trueHe longed for something to doWhy, in the middle of the night,In a midnight hopeless time,He riddledWe couldn't, we wouldn'tMy shattered illusionsWe played on, we stayed onMy shattered illusionsSmall trinkets all that we likedTrays on the very long flightAnd in the midnight hopeless timeAnd in the flower of our livesLying by the blaze of lightIt's Saturday, our holidayMy shattered illusionsSuch charity, such clarityMy shattered illusionsHow or why could I or anyone surmiseMean words to break through to youReal crying to break through to youI couldn't do that to youSongtexteA ribbon blew in the windAll want to look for a friendThe summer never should endAnd in the middle of the nightIn a midnight hopeless timeJust silenceWe wouldn't, we couldn'tMy shattered illusionsWe stayed on, we played onMy shattered illusionsHow or why could I or anyone surmiseMean lies to break through to youReal crying to break through to youSparkles of light shine belowDance on the feathery snow.
