Lyrics
All My Dreams
(Verse)
Halfway from Hell, the ocean swells 'round New Orleans
A new nightmare is soon to arise
There's a wicked wind blowing out on the ocean
And when the morning comes, you won't believe your eyes
(Pre-Chorus)
But peering out through the darkness,
You will see your life differently
(Chorus)
When all of your dreams, Just washed away
(Verse)
God only knows the reasons why
Just leave it be and fly by night to the high ground
I hate to say goodbye
I've lost all but my memories
Pictures of our past just swept away
With the high tide
It's enough to make you cry
(Pre-Chorus)
But peering out through the darkness,
You will see your life differently
(Chorus)
When all of your dreams, Just washed away
(Bridge)
But I still got you and the sun came up just this morning
And I didn't lose my faith to the wind
And when this day is history I'll be mourning
Cause, that girl took away everything but my pride
(Chorus)
And all of my dreams, Just washed away
