I'd been building hopes so long

Honey, I must have lost sight of what went wrong

'Cause in sorrow's blinding light today

Baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay.



Years of yearning spent for you

Honey, I know now were the cravings of a fool

I guess your wants just slipped away

And baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay.



I knew love could toss you down

An' leave you there to crawl around

But never thought that was a fall we'd make.

Getting up was nothing new

The kind of thing hearts learn to do

But knowing how doesn't mean it's easy to take.



So I'll forget about

Plans we had for me and you

And dwell on thoughts lonely lives pursue

Praying memories don't stay

'Cause baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay.

Yeah baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay...
