My hopes and dreams they always seem to be denied
This is why my eyes shed diamonds of crystal blue
From the day my Grandfather died
Until you departed too
Less then a week before my twelfth birthday
My special day
They took him away
I would not ever see this man again
My hopes and my dreams they died that day
They would never be, the same again
But I would try and live, to dream again
I made Grandma my new pal; and she was really swell
But as young men often have too; they do
I had to find another
For she could not keep my pace
She would not win that race
They took her too; to live in another home
For she could no longer live alone
I hoped and I'd pray
But, things weren't meat to be, that day
I wanted her to stay
But, fate decided it
And she moved away
My hopes and my dreams
Had taken another turn
They were lead away
They lead me straightly; to you
Grandma was no longer my gal
I think she was okay with this
She was eager to see us hitched
She got to see our first son
And her first great granddaughter
But, as time would have it
She'd miss the birth of
Our third child
She died in May way to early
And he was born in June
Under a blue moon
Our little man
My hopes and my dreams
They changed again
Four years married and going strong
Grandma loved me until the very end
I am sure of it
I guess she and Mom
Will be the only ones
Who will; ever do
But, I was never allowed to get to close
To my Mother, or to any other
You; got a taste of this
As times really got tough
And rough; for us
You became aware of it; from
The sand bagging brigade
And their fearless leader
As the son of another man
I was often buried there, in their sand
My hopes and dreams they always seem to be denied
This is why my eyes shed diamonds of crystal blue
From the day my Grandfather died
Until you departed too
Less then a week before my twelfth birthday
My special day
They took him away
I would not ever see this man again
My hopes and my dreams they died that day
They would never be, the same again
But I would try and live, to dream again
I made Grandma my new pal; and she was really swell
But as young men often have too; they do
I had to find another
For she could not keep my pace
She would not win that race
They took her too; to live in another home
For she could no longer live alone

But, things weren't meat to be, that day

And she moved away
My hopes and my dreams

They were lead away
They lead me straightly; to you
Grandma was no longer my gal
I think she was okay with this
She was eager to see us hitched
She got to see our first son
And her first great granddaughter
But, as time would have it
She’d miss the birth of
Our third child
She died in May way to early
And he was born in June
Under a blue moon
Our little man
My hopes and my dreams
They changed again
Four years married and going strong
Grandma loved me until the very end
I am sure of it
I guess she and Mom
Will be the only ones
Who will; ever do
But, I was never allowed to get to close
To my Mother, or to any other
You; got a taste of this
As times really got tough
And rough; for us
You became aware of it; from
The sand bagging brigade
And their fearless leader
As the son of another man
I was often buried there, in their sand
As they did unto you
With all the heart aches, yet to come
My hopes and my dreams they marched along
We two; we held strong
Head long into our tenth year of bliss
No! Why…oh why? Why This?
To slow was my pace, I guess
Will I never win, this damned old race?
No, I can’t save face; my old face
For you have stopped running with me
And you took to a new course
Of course
My hopes and my dreams they died
That day, though I had tried I could not
Revive them, I could not; dying
My beaten heart, it is near to Death; holding his hand
But, no shock will revive me; I am not trying
For now my heart, it is set
On new Hopes and new dreams
And they are not of
This Flesh's World
