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   And baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay      BRIDGE:   I knew love could toss you down   An' leave you there to crawl around   But never thought that was a fall we'd make      Getting up was nothing new   The kind of thing hearts learn to do   But knowing 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      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      Yeah baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay
