Big Country - You Lose Your Dreams lyrics

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
