My dreams have all been shattered
As the teardrops start to flow
On down the misty mountains
To the valley far below

The teardrops form a river
That flows gently out to sea
And the ocean air reminds me
Of the way it used to be

The waves of many yesterdays
Now crash upon my heart
Crushing it to pieces
Now I don't know where to start

My mind is neither here nor there
Not up, not down, not anywhere
No matter what may happen now
I find I just don't care
