the dreams just died away



In the early years
In the city where I took
The fast lanes and the double speak
The city slickers came

Even the village pumpkins
Living for a while would see
How the rudiments work
They would act and behave

They adopted the ways
They just wanted to blend in
In the shadows of others
They thought they would look great

Somehow the bad ways
It never would help anybody
The marijuana, pills and beer
The downward spills of lost dreams

I had seen and observed
The bad habits ruined many a good people
Down to the last straw
The dreams just died away
