When Your Dream Lovers Die Lyrics

Townes Van Zandt When Your Dream Lovers Die

When your sky starts to tumble and your rhymes starts to lose D Dsus4 D A D The meaning so tenderly given Dsus4 DV GIII A D When all your dreams lie down and die at your shoes D Em G D You can turn to me for livin'

When your sweet words begin to turn black on the vines And they bear their fruit no longer Then lay down your love songs and leave them behind I'll show you something stronger

The shadow you're chasing will fade in the sun Don't let disbelief deceive you As you hide from your sorrow remember there's one That only seeks to please you

And now you must follow your dreams as they fly Leaving trails of empty feeling Perhaps when you watch all your dream lovers die You'll decide that you need a real one
