Dreams and Hopes -

In youth I had dreams of tomorrow,
In age I have hopes of today,
Because my dreams have all turned into sorrow,
By plague, they are driven away

Away, away, I’ve tried to fly,
And still, one day, I might,
But the only time I’ve ever flown
Is here, beneath my kite

Alas, alas, I still won’t pass,
I’ve attempted to sing and to dance,
But never been touched, or loved,
Or engaged by whirlwind romance

In youth, I had dreams of tomorrow,
In age, I have nightmares of today,
Bitter and cold,
Boring and old,
In sorrow, forever I’ll stay
