Broken Dreams Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Broken Dreams Lyrics

    There's an ocean in my mind
    I'd give the world if i could find
    A sailing ship and leave the past behind
    Now that i must say adieu
    It's killing me, i'm telling you
    When freedom calls what can a person do
    I have felt the winds of change
    Go stealing through my heart and soul
    How wild it seems
    In love songs and in nursery rhymes
    On movie screens, in fairy tales
    Lie broken dreams
    Life's broken dreams
    Love's broken dreams

    Sometimes a broken dream
    Will make you sad or make you mean
    Sometimes things ain't as bad as they might seem
    You might walk a lonely street
    Until one day you chance to meet
    A stranger who might ask where have you been

    You will see the light of change
    Come shining through your windowpane
    When hope is gone
    Though money, fame, and riches are
    For fools and kings or anything
    That turns them on
    Life's broken deals
    Life's spinning wheels

    There's an ocean i have found
    I'd like to sail the world around
    And dream about the life i hope i'll find
    Now that i must say adieu
    To love's returns, i'm telling you
    When freedom comes what can a person do

    I have felt the winds of change
    Go stealing through my heart and soul
    How wild they seem
    In sounds of spring, in winter storms
    In autumn gales, on summer morns
    Lie broken dreams
    In love songs and in nursery rhymes
    On movie screens, in fairy tales
    Like broken dreams
    Life's broken dreams
    Love's broken dreams
