                          I love the way you make your moves
                            struttin tall in leather boots.
                            made up eyes and sailin smooth.

                            But your nights are lonely girl
                            beyond the look's another world
                            and sets my mind to whirl.

                            Chorus:
                            You keep dreamin girl of better days
                            but you're lost in the future's haze
                            you're getting older in your masquerade
                            how much time is left to guess?

                            I feel you scared when I'm near you
                            you entertain a look of gloom
                            you look so helpless in that room.

                            Something strange this life you lead
                            you're in the land of make believe
                            with fairy tales and crazy dreams.

                            I love the way you state your game
                            painted nails and long gold chains
                            your curled lips your fashion frame.

                            I'd love to see your long black hair
                            across my pillow everywhere
                            imagine how I'd love you there.

                            Rep Chorus:
                            You keep dreamin girl of better days
                            but you're lost in the future's haze
                            you're getting older in your masquerade
                            how much time is left to guess?

Telling it like it is for many in the "game," Eric, and telling it in a way only you can do. I wish someone would pick up your songs and do something with them.

I like the lyrics, I can see the story. I was just wondering, what kind of music did you put to the words, Blues, country? Both would be great.

"Something strange this life you lead
you're in the land of make believe
with fairy tales and crazy dreams."

*may our dreams ever be magical*

Thanks Jerry for the kind words and support and oh, do I wish some major artist would pick some of these up....he he but it's all enjoyable anyway.

Depending on the type of lyrics and the type of melody it can be any style of music.
This particular one is like an old Rolling Stones type of Rhythum & Blues back beat.
However, I have written blues, country, folk, champagne style etc etc.
Thanks for your visit and the reply.

Karen
Thank you so much for your visits and kind positive replies.
Many many of us have been lost in a world of dreams and so called fairy tales but we have to face the reality eventually.
Nice out there in dream land all the same, seems to be a lot less troubles...
Big HUGS! right back at ya and thanks again for the kind words on my lyrics.

Eric
