Broken Dreams歌词

Looking out my window pane
Sitting by the door alone
She's left me once again
Not sure when she comes back home

It's an every night affair
With someone new she says
I've lost my taste for toys
I bring joy to little boys

She puts on a brand new face
Her baby blues and long white lace
She turns to hug and hold me tight
Whatever soothes me in my fright

She's gonna soon be leaving town
With some other man she's found
And tells me I'm a big boy now
And we will need a little [Incomprehensible]

Mother, can't you see what I need?
Mother, can't you hear when I plead?

Broken hearts and broken dreams
Are what I've made my life, it seems
Little children soon grow old
So that's what I'm taught and told

Can't explain the pains I hide
No matter how I try and try
Everything I do seems wrong
Ever since the day I was born

Mother, can't you see what I need?
Mother, can't you hear when I plead? Yeah

Wipe the tears away from my face
As I turned and walked from that place
Leave my past behind without a trace

Looking back I'm older now
Seems I might have cried too loud
It took too long to see
I was the one and you set me free

Some people say I'm looking good
And for my age I really should
I'm just an old man on the brink
And maybe that's the way that they think
