Long Gone Dream
Embers of a Love Lost: Kevin Welch's Long Gone Dream
Lyrics
I open my eyes sometimes in the morning
I wake up in the morning.
I can taste your kisses, that's the way it seems
I can still feel the remnants of your kisses.
Try to hold on, keep on believing
Attempting to hold on and maintain faith.
But it's too late now, it's just another long gone dream
Realizing it's too late; it's just another distant and unattainable dream.
I've been thinkin' 'bout rain, thinking 'bout sunshine
Contemplating both rainy and sunny moments, reflecting on you and us.
Thinking 'bout you, you and me
Reflecting on the relationship between "you" and "me."
Thinking 'bout a way to get me out of these memories
Searching for a way to escape the memories.
Baby by now, it's nothing but a long gone dream
Acknowledging that, at this point, it's merely a distant and unattainable dream.
Gonna burn this bridge down
Deciding to end the connection decisively.
Leave the embers smokin'
Intending to burn the bridge completely.
I ain't ever comin' back
Expressing a firm decision not to return.
There's no sense hopin'
Recognizing the futility of hope in this situation.
It's just another long gone dream
Confirming that this is just another distant and unattainable dream.
Gotta move on, lord I know that I need to
Understanding the necessity to move forward.
Hangin' round here is gonna be the death of me
Acknowledging that staying in this situation will be harmful.
I've done my time, holed up and lonesome
Having experienced a period of isolation and loneliness.
All hung up on nothing but a long gone dream
Being fixated on a dream that is now out of reach.
Gonna burn this bridge down
Reiterating the intention to cut ties completely.
Leave the embers smokin'
Ensuring that there are no remains of the relationship.
I ain't ever comin back
Reiterating the decision never to return.
There's no sense hopin'
Acknowledging the futility of holding onto hope.
It's just another long gone dream
Emphasizing that this is just another distant and unattainable dream.
Look at me now, movin' down the line
Reflecting on personal growth and progress.
Leavin nothing behind me, nothing but a long gone dream
Leaving everything behind, including the dream that is now unreachable.
