And Watch The Dream Die

Lyrics to the first song I've written in years. Amazing what heartache will do for the creative juices…

And Watch the Dream Die

You're gone for good E

You've made your choice now. A

And if I could A

I'd really love to hear your voice now. E

And even though you're miles away E

I feel you like you're next to me A

But I know that's illusion A

I know you've set me free B  

Still I don't want to say goodbye B    

And watch the dream die E

We took a mighty chance E

We took a fearsome risk A

It shouldn't surprise me now A

that it would come to this. E

But I thought that we'd do better E

I thought that we'd appeased the gods A

I really didn't see the hubris A

in thinking that we'd beat the odds. E  

And I've got nothing to offer 

you haven't seen before

and you're not interested 

in that stuff anymore

Yet I'd give it all to you

if I thought you'd return

If I thought that you'd be happy

If I thought that I could learn

But I don't want to say goodbye B

And watch the dream die  E

bridge

It's not late to hesitate, to turn around G

We could push through, we could undo what brought us down C

Just take my hand, repair this band that's torn apart G

F We'll find our way back, end up in C each other's heart  G  E

Yeah, I know better than that

to want to have you back

You've found a new one now

you've head on down the track

We are now a memory 

A broken story line

A piece of history

An old, discarded sign

Still, I don't want to say goodbye 

And watch the dream die

No, I don't want to say goodbye 

And watch the dream die

But I know it's time to say goodbye 

And watch the dream die
