Broken Dreams - Gordon Lightfoot



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
