The shadow of your smile When you have gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes my love and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star It was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips

Maria was born in the country She loved her homeland Maria was from a poor family For their girl they had greater plans Across the sea not yet twenty Sailed our Maria, a man to see Perhaps marry dreams our Maria This was to be eventually for our Maria

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives I walk alone, I walk alone My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will

The shadow of your smile When you have gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes my love and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star It was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips

All I wanted was a car But all I wanted was a car My buddy Blake was all-state with dreams of the NFL Jenny McClain had big brains She got a scholarship to Yale And there was Hershel who did two commercials And he was going to be a movie star Part time

Bright red, how am I gonna find a way? Tears and shades of gray I've lost forever from today The long red, flowing through my mind Dream here, dreamin' there Two pieces all the time Sobered, wisdoms in my dreams Bits and pieces in my arms

Follow me (follow me) All that I wanted the dreams I had before All that I needed I've never needed more All of my questions are answers to my sins All of my endings waiting to begin Give me the dust of my father Stand on the face of the ancients Bare

Ah ah ah ah ah My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone I walk this empty street On the boulevard of broken dreams Where the city

Oh, me, oh, my Dreams in my arms Is all I have to hold Since you've been gone Ever since you been gone I had a dream Thinking that you were gone Leaving me on my own And you, you was there

I was only dreaming Of another place and time Where my family's from. I can hear them singing. When the rain had washed away All these scattered dreams
