Dam

Think I'll just hang this one up
'Cause I hear the wolves a-comin'
And I feel like giving up
Don't see no sense in running

When I was a child, I had a dream
But it was clouded by reality
And just when I thought I'd been freed
See those clouds movin' in again

And you raise your eyes up to the skies
And you see the clouds a-darken
And the rains of all your sorrows start to pour
And after a while, the dam behind your eyes is overflowin'
It's true, you just can't do this anymore
The cracks, you feel them start to form

I know where I'm going
But I don't want to leave
These flowers I've been sowing
I don't want them to fade

'Cause everything I've ever wanted
Is right within my reach
Oh, but you should know by now, boy
You gotta practice what you preach

So you raise your eyes up to the skies
And you see the clouds a-darken
And the rains of life, of love, they start to pour
And after a while, the dam behind your eyes is overflowin'
And it shows, you just can't do this anymore
The cracks, you feel them start to form

So you raise your eyes up to the skies
And you see the clouds a-darken
And the rains of life, of love, they start to pour
And after a while, the dam behind your eyes is overflowin'
And it's true, you just can't do this anymore
The cracks, you feel them start to form
