Lyrics
After the Dreams
© Charley Sandage
2013
After the dreams, and the two am schemes that you start with
Are worn like a favorite old coat you still hate to part with
The best you can do is hope that you won't be alone
That someone will love you after the dreams are all gone
Dreams die away like a night turning gray before sunrise
They leave behind echoes and ashes you see in your own eyes
The farther you get down whatever road that you're on
The more you hope someone is there when the dreams are all gone
A dream that's so sweet and warm in the night
Can sometimes turn cold, hard to hold in the light
A dreamer gets lost and he don't count the cost on his journey
Then he gets to a time when his words just don't rhyme, and he worries
He deals with his devils by writing them down in a song
And he hopes for somebody like you when the dreams are all gone
