There was a string of pearls
And I gave them to the sky
And I honestly, honestly tried
To the play the games that you designed
But emotional swings leave us left, leave us left with only a tire
And we're swinging out of life
It's only life where love stays alive
And you know you're not really alive
Just a shadow falling apart
And no matter how much you try
You can't make sunshine all the time
And I turn away, oh and each time you say
What a dream, what a dream it could be
And I shifted my eyes, oh and I tried to be kind,
When there's no one and there's no hope and there's nothing in you,
And there's nothing in you to believe
So where, where are you now
We're wondering, wondering how
How to fall down on your knees
And finally admit all the things you believe
And oh you know you're not really alive
Just a shadow falling behind
No matter how much you try, try, try
You can't make the sunshine all the time
But I turn away and oh you started to say what a dream, what a dream, a dream it could be
And I shifted my eyes oh and I tried to be kind
When there's no one and there's no hope
And there's nothing left, nothing left to believe
