Brittle Dreams Lyrics

Looks like you caught me with my hair down

See the lights are on but there is no one home

Waiting through darkness for a second time

If it’s the same our dreams are right again

I wish that I could to talk to you

And you could ease it out or maybe not

And I say you never, ever get away

Close your eyes into light the sun machine is

The only prize for having far too many

Brittle dreams

You’ve not been looking quite so hard lately

Your hair is gone, you wait for the rain to ease

My head is numb so maybe I can’t see

But in my sleep reveals my deepest fears

I wish that I could talk to you

And you could ease it out or maybe not

And I say you never, ever get away

Close your eyes into light the sun machine is

The only prize for having far too many

Brittle dreams

And I say you never, ever get away

Close your eyes into light the sun machine is

The only prize for having far too many

Brittle dreams

Your twinkle-toes have lost their sparkle

The stink of love’s lost its attraction

And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know

The girls are sworn

And I say you never, ever get away

Close your eyes into light the sun machine is

The only prize for having far too many

Brittle dreams

And I say you never, ever get away

Close your eyes into light the sun machine is

The only prize for having far too many

Brittle dreams
