about

We've all had dreams broken this year. Large and small. Here's a song for these dark days. Allows room for reflection. Dedicated to the memory of Jono Willis and Kirsty Meddings, who loved the music.

lyrics

When all of our dreams are broken
And everything is packed away
When the last words have been spoken
When that lucky old sun goes down at the end of the day
You'll be here, by my side
Will you help me dry the tears I've cried?
When all of our dreams are broken

Soldiers are coming home
The white flag has been raised
The pirate geeks at their keyboards
Man, they're planning a midnight raid
You'll be here to break the code
Will you help me carry that load?
When all of our dreams are broken

When all of our dreams
Are coming apart at the seams
And the last one in town
Will shoot out the lights, lock this place down
And we'll go back home
Where everyone knows our face
And we'll start all over again

There's another good man down
And we all gather here to reminisce
With a trunkful of jokes and old memories
But no time for goodbye, no time for a final kiss
We remain, you are gone
But of course you left us one last song...

...And now the last of our dreams is finally broken
