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 baby it looks like my dreams were made of clay



I knew love could toss you down and leave you there to crawl around

Never thought that was a fall we'd make

Gettin' up was nothing new the kind of thing hearts learn to do

Knowin' 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

[ steel - guitar ]

I knew love could toss you down...

Yeah baby it looks like our dreams were made of clay
