You Lose Your Dreams

Cover it up in ivory cool
My logic fails with a winter fools

I feel music that is wild and free
And I know the fire and the fire knows me

You looked at me with those tired eyes
Said, “It’s time you realize
You must grow up, that time has come”
But I just smiled and I sang this song

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine

Looked at him with no surprise
I said, “Long time since I realized
As my body grows old my loving grows
I still touch the vision
I still smell the rose”

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine

You let them fly
I let them carry me
You let them die
I let them flourish here

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine

Cover it up in ivory cool
My logic fails with a winter fools

For I feel the music that is wild and free
And I know the fire and the fire knows me

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
