Street Of Dreams

Peter Mayer/Roger Guth/Jim Mayer

The wounds of the past
Lying in the broken glass
With the first and the last time I saw you
I weave thread by thread
The white flag that I can’t mend
Try to fix it all again
I surrender
There’s a street that bares your name
But the town’s been rearranged
Check the lock on the door
It’s me that won’t go back anymore

Chorus
There used to be a house on the street of dreams
A home for our desire
Shelter me ’cause I’m losing sleep
My heart beats once and I held your hand
My heart beats twice and I don’t understand
My heart beats out on the street
The street of dreams

The wind’s blowing cold
In the room where you told me
To meet you and hold you once again
The address that you gave
Is an ancient arcade
An old house full of games
I’m not playing
As I walk from room to room
There’s a trace of your perfume
Check the lock on the door
It’s me that won’t be back anymore

Chorus

The ring never worn
The child never born
These are words from a long lost letter
Tell the truth, tell the time
Tell them both they’re telling lies
Tell the sun not to shine
It’s me that won’t be back anymore

Chorus
