You Lose Your Dreams - Big Country

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
