I'd been building hopes so long Honey, I must have lost sight of what went wrong 'Cause in sorrow's blinding light today Baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay Years of yearning spent for you Honey, I know now were the cravings of a fool I guess your wants just slipped away And baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay [BRIDGE:] I knew love could toss you down An' leave you there to crawl around But never thought that was a fall we'd make Getting up was nothing new The kind of thing hearts learn to do
But knowing how doesn't mean it's easy to take So I'll forget about Plans we had for me and you And dwell on thoughts lonely lives pursue Praying memories don't stay 'Cause baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay So I'll forget about Plans we had for me and you And dwell on thoughts lonely lives pursue Praying memories don't stay 'Cause baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay Yeah baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay
