Big Dreams by Jambrains published on 2021-05-06T09:10:35Z The street lies dark and sergeant O'Neil is on night patrol both hands on the wheel The drunks and the thieves He knows them by name and it weighs on his heart to see what they became Every night is the same Nothing ever changes but the season Big dreams laid to rest in dark places Big dreams trapped in windowless spaces Big dreams Smiles gone from the faces of those who stayed behind Father Mulholland looks at the crowd Five lonely souls all with heads bowed His sermons once flowed with drive and conviction now all he can muster is drab repetition Every Sunday is the same Nothing ever changes but the season Big dreams laid to rest in dark places Big dreams trapped in windowless spaces Big dreams Smiles gone from the faces of those who stayed behind The excitement of youth The thrill of the stranger The great unknown The sweet edge of danger They fade over time To tired resignation To stay was a choice is their pale justification Big dreams laid to rest in dark places Big dreams trapped in windowless spaces Big dreams Smiles gone from the faces of those who stayed behind Sally O’Brien pulls one more beer As it fills it reminds her Of malt soaked tears The drunks tell her stories She's heard them all before Their whole lives determined By where they come from Every Friday night is the same Nothing ever changes but the season Big dreams laid to rest in dark places Big dreams trapped in windowless spaces Big dreams Smiles gone from the faces of those who stayed behind Comment by Satan's Buttered Toast this is great 2021-08-20T17:38:48Z Comment by Dakoda Sada love it! 2021-07-11T08:59:29Z Comment by Karma Surround love this song 2021-05-18T21:30:16Z Comment by elljott You submitted the lyrics in addition.
