Dreams Of Clay - Dwight Yoakam
Written by:Dwight Yoakam
I'd been building hopes so long
Honey I must have
Lost sight of what went wrong
'Cause in sorrow's
Blinding light today
Baby it looks like
My dreams were made of clay
Years of yearning spent for you
Honey I know now
Were the cravings of a fool
I guess your wants just
Slipped away
And baby it looks like
My dreams were made of clay
I knew love could toss you down
An' leave you there to crawl around
But never knew that was a fall he'd make
Getting up was nothing new
The kind of thing hearts learn to do
But knowing how doesn't mean it's easy to take
So I'll forget about
Plans we had for me and you
Oh and dwell on
Thoughts lonely lives pursue
Praying
Memories don't stay
'Cause baby it looks like
Our dreams were made of clay
I knew love could toss you down
An' leave you there to crawl around
But never thought that was a fall we'd make
Oh
Getting up was nothing new
The kind of thing hearts learn to do
But knowing how doesn't mean
It's easy to take
So I'll forget about
Plans we had for me and you
Oh
And dwell on
Thoughts lonely lives pursue
Praying memories
Don't stay
'Cause baby it looks like
Our dreams
Were made of clay
Yeah baby it looks like
Our dreams
Were made of clay
Made of clay
Made of clay
Made of clay
Made of clay
Made of clay
Made of clay
Made of clay
