Stillborn Dream

With you, I felt a new life begin
The stirring of hope that grew within
But silence stole its breath away
And despair has come to stay

Gonna carry my stillborn dream away
Gonna carry this pain and grief always
Gonna wrap them up in tearstained rags
Gonna bury my stillborn dream

Hope grows cold in an empty bed
Nothing was promised
Nothing was said
Waited for a sign, but now I know
Gotta pack up my pain and go

Gonna carry my stillborn dream away
Gonna carry this pain and grief always
Gonna wrap them up in tearstained rags
Gonna bury my stillborn dream

Seems like nothing ever happened
And nothing ever will
Gotta pack up my pain
And still... and still...

Gonna carry my stillborn dream away
Gonna carry this pain and grief always
Gonna wrap them up in tearstained rags
Gonna bury my stillborn dream
