Hope Lies Still

I’ve dreamed all a man can dream
Believed all a man can believe
And I’ve seen those dreams
Go tumbling like stones in a raging river.
Some kind of flood has washed them to the sea
Faith and hope have all but left me
Maybe somewhere in that ocean of doubt
They are still remembered.
I’ve spoken like a man who knew the truth
When all I knew was what I fancied
But I told the only truth I knew
And gave the only heart was left me.
I guess I loved the best I could
Or so I thought I knew the ways of love
But what I knew was surely something less
’Cause now it’s just a memory.
And now I see through vain remorse
How my yesterdays have run their course
To the children of their children
They will not defend me.
There’s something in the wind, I can’t deny
It may be the angels Heaven sent me
But I cannot see them in the sky
Can’t feel them bending down to set me free.
Somewhere at the heart of me
Somewhere in the distance
Hope lies still, like a summer flower
Beneath the rains of autumn.
Who knows what the winter brings?
Maybe death, and maybe spring
Maybe dreams of other dreams
I have long forgotten.
