Jaspar Lepak: Nothing to Dream

Описание: Here's another song for you as part of my Fridays at Noon video series! “Nothing to Dream” is off my 2011 album Forgiving Wind. My computer is on the fritz so this audio comes straight from my phone. :) I've been releasing a new song most Fridays at 12pm CT—so be sure to subscribe! After this, I'll be taking a break for the holidays, but stay tuned! Soon you'll hear more unreleased originals, deep cuts, old favorites (like this one!), and the occasional cover. Want to stay in the loop? Sign up for my monthly newsletter: https://jasparlepak.com/ I'd love to stay in touch!

Nothing to Dream © Jaspar Lepak 2011

Nothing’s clean in this nowhere town
Nothing to hear but an empty sound
Snow is falling soft on a dirty ground
Nothing to dream, nothing to dream

Just a cigarette and a coffee stain
Dull gray light through the windowpane
Morning comes always the same
Nothing to say, nothing to say

CHORUS:
Time moves on, slow like a wheel
Fast like a fire, past what you feel
Dreams die slow, and you don’t even know
How you let them fall so far behind

Steam is rising from my hands
But me and my coffee ain’t making plans
Those days are gone, we understand
Nothing to dream, nothing to dream

A bird flies by, a mourning dove
Maybe if I’d been shown just a little more love
Just a little more love
Maybe I’d fly away, maybe I’d fly away

To where the sun rises like a big red ball
To where the clouds are clear, and I am here still standing tall
Can’t keep the heat inside these walls
Nothing to dream, nothing to dream

CHORUS

The window’s wrong, that face ain’t mine
Who’s that staring back through those worried lines?
I used to be so beautiful and bright
Now, I’m nothing to see, nothing to see

Never did what I wanted to
Never made my big debut
Thought I had just a little more time
But time left me behind

CHORUS
