Pipedreams

verse 1

Way back when I loved to live

When flowers bloomed and children played

I caught brief glimpses in your eyes

of dreams that disappeared.

 

chorus

Pipe dreams gone up in smoke

Scenes without a care

Alive for just a moment

They vanish in the air

 

verse 2

Together in the back yard

You, held close to my chest

The children call out eagerly

“Is dinner ready yet?”

 

chorus

Pipe dreams gone up in smoke

Scenes without a care

Alive for just a moment

They vanish in the air

 

verse 3 

Now horns honk and engines grind

At a beggar down on his luck

While pairs of polished boots click by

Drop coins into his cup

 

chorus

Pipe dreams gone up in smoke

Scenes without a care

Alive for just a moment

They vanish in the air
