Dead End Dream
Navigating Shadows: Ron Sexsmith's Journey Through Despair to Love
Lyrics
Every now and then sadness overflows
Occasionally, feelings of sadness become overwhelming
And I get swept away in a tide of woes
Feeling inundated by troubles
Looking for a hand that won't let go
Seeking support from someone reliable
So when I'm down and out it'll search for me
During difficult times, seeking solace
When I don't like what it is in the world I see
When dissatisfied with the state of the world
I'll look into your heart and there I'll be
Finding comfort in someone's emotions
Looking for a friend who'll stand by me
Seeking a loyal friend
Then I feel your love
Experiencing the affection and care of the person
I feel your love
Sensing the love from the person
And all this darkness disappearing
Feeling the negativity fading away due to love
I know I'm nearing the end
Realizing the approaching end of a futile aspiration
Of a dead end dream
Reaching the conclusion of a fruitless pursuit or hope
Every once in awhile our doubts get loud
At times, uncertainties become overwhelming
'Til everything bright and gay turns inside out
When everything joyful turns distressing
I'm looking for a hand I'm feeling around
Seeking guidance or reassurance while feeling lost
So when I'm down for the count it'll search for me
During moments of being incapacitated, seeking support
When I don't like what it is in the mirror I see
When unhappy with oneself, seeking reassurance from someone else
I'll look into your eyes and there I'll be
Finding solace or support in someone's gaze
Looking for a hand that won't break free
Desiring stability in a relationship
Then I feel your love
Experiencing the affection and care of the person
I feel your love
Sensing the love from the person
And all this sadness disappearing
Feeling the sadness dissipating due to love
I know I'm nearing the end
Recognizing the proximity of the end of a futile pursuit
Of a dead end dream
Approaching the conclusion of an unattainable dream
When our eyes are downcast
During times of despair or sadness
We may fail to see
Missing the potential for love due to despondency
Or realize that we have
Not realizing the available affection
All the love that we need
Having enough love but failing to acknowledge it
Looking for a hand that won't let go
Seeking unwavering support
Then I feel your love
Experiencing the affection and care of the person
I feel your love
Sensing the love from the person
And all this darkness disappearing
Feeling the darkness fading away due to love
I know I'm nearing the end
Acknowledging the impending end of a futile pursuit
Of a dead end dream
Approaching the conclusion of an unfulfilled dream
Nearing the end of a dead end dream
Nearing the end of an unattainable aspiration
Nearing the end of a dead end dream
Approaching the conclusion of a hopeless dream
