If These Are The Things Lyrics by Tracy Chapman

If These Are The Things Lyrics

    if these are the things that
    dreams are made of
    why don't i dream
    anymore
    i've tried to tell myself
    nothing's changed my dear
    but i look around me
    and think maybe that's not so

    i only have nightmares
    and wake up with cold sweat
    coming through my pores

    why don't i dream anymore

    i'm in the garden
    all the trees bear fruit
    i have to pick them before they fall
    i finally grab one
    i hold it in my hand
    i open it up
    it's rotten to the core

    why don't i dream anymore

    if these are the things that
    dreams are made of
    why don't i dream
    anymore

    we lose our patience
    lose our trust
    yes we lose our innocence
    to forget our sorrow and hide our pain
    we lose old memories
    but dreams are what life's worth living for

    i wish i could dream
    once more

    i'm in the garden
    all the trees bear fruit
    i have to pick them before they fall
    i finally grab one
    i hold it in my hand
    i open it up
    it's rotten to the core

    why don't i dream anymore

    if these are the things that
    dreams are made of
    why don't i dream anymore

    i've tried to tell myself
    it's all for the best my dear
    but i look around me and think
    maybe that's not so

    i only have nightmares
    wake up in a cold sweat
    have i become as corrupt
    as all i abhor

    i'm in the garden
    all the trees bear fruit
    i have to pick them before they fall
    i finally grab one
    i hold it in my hand
    i open it up
    it's rotten to the core

    why don't i dream anymore

    if these are the things that
    dreams are made of
    if these are the things that
    dreams are made of
    if these are the things that
    dreams are made of

    i don't want anymore
