I tried to see the world as it is
Hiding my heart , as if to protect  it
But, no matter how I try
I can't seem to get these clouds out of my eyes
Maybe it's because I am a dreamer
Perhaps I was never ment to be a blue collar skemer
I live my happiest moments
in dreamy visions of tomorrow
Not realizing at the time
That now is passing right on by
Curse these reality illusions
That blends with now and then fuses
Leaving me in a state of warpness
Viewing real reality as rather hopeless
Choosing then and now
to live my life
with my heart on my sleeve
Clouds in my eyes
and wind in my sails
floating wherever
this life takes me
Wrapping myself
in the things that forsake me
Using them to warm my soul
against reality's cold wind blow
And as for love I'll take what I can
For love is the one true gift given
to mortal man
