THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
(I HOPE...)

can anybody know
does anybody care
enough to understand
the depths of my despair

has anybody been
will anybody see
this place is beyond pain
and beyond misery

... oh ... oh ... oh ... woe is me ...

she didn't have to do it
don't think she really wanted to
but sometimes our fears make us
do things we swore we'd never do

it can't get much crueler
she just destroyed every dream
I ever lived for
ever hoped for
nobody can know just what I mean

cuz it wasn't your dream


can anybody try
is anybody friend
enough to hold me now
as I want my life to end

has anybody felt
can anybody be
in this place beyond pain
beyond sanity

... oh ... oh ... oh ... tragedy ...

damn my heart for feeling
damn my faith and trust
damn me for believing
in love instead of lust

damn the life I'm living
damn this goddamn pain
damn this song for singing it
again and again and again

damn it again and again and again

she didn't have to do it
don't think she really wanted to
but sometimes our fears make us
do things we swore we'd never do

it can't get much crueler
she just destroyed every dream
I ever lived for
ever hoped for
nobody can know just what it means

cuz it was my dream
they were my dreams

... oh ... oh ... oh ... I just want to scream ...


... oh ... oh ... oh ... to sleep to dream ...


but I still love her
oh how can that be
just look at this mess of a life
what I let her do to me

and I forgive her
I must be insane
but I keep singing her song
again and again and again


if it takes forever
I will wait for you
through a thousand summers
I will wait for you

through all fears and heartaches
hear me calling you
and forever you'll
be in my
heart


  how could anyone know...

... oh ... oh ... oh ... oh ... oh ...

she didn't mean it
her heart is true
it's just her fears
that she can't get through

it may seem so cruel
but if you only knew
that she is destroying
her dreams too

she is destroying her dreams too

... oh ... oh ... oh ... lady blue ...
